The high-ceilinged flat takes up one side of the third floor in a four-story Queen Anne wood-frame walkup that was built as a multi-family and appears to date from the 1890s. Originally, the layout most likely consisted of two flexible parlors in the front separated by a woodwork screen, a bedroom in
