This building is a loose interpretation of a Swiss chalet, with an awkward, residual Queen Anne element, a steeply roofed corner tower. Aside from the tower, the house is notable for its projecting, two-story porch, with its Craftsman and Swiss touches. The owner worked as the Manager, Stimson Lumber Mill in Ballard, a neighborhood incorporated into the City of Seattle in 1907. Norvell's extensive use of milled wood on the exterior served as advertising of sorts for his business.

The Landmarks Board of the City of Seattle named the Norvell House a Landmark. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath house was owned until 2005 by a member of the Norvell Family. In 2010, it had an appraised value of $742,000. It contained 2,149 total square feet, with 1,170 on the first floor; the dwelling occupied a 13,800 sq. ft. (0.32 acre) lot.
