Description and history

[edit]

The house was built by W.C. "Bill" Mortenson in 1923 and is an example of the American Craftsman style of architecture. The one and a half story wood-frame house sits on a concrete foundation and has a gabled shingle roof. It displays the low pitched gabled roof with wide open eaves, exposed rafters and ornamented braces characteristic of the American Craftsman style. Exterior wall finishing is alternating narrow and wide stained wood shingle. The house is at the rear of a 4.4-acre (1.8 ha) lot in the Maywood / Beckstrom Hill neighborhood in Bothell. Lawrence and Lilly Kirk owned a business in Bothell and Mortenson, Lilly Kirk's brother, was a Seattle builder and contractor who later moved his business to Bothell. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1995.[3][4]
