Hello all...I recently found a very cool picture of the house I grew up in on Vashon-Maury Island, Washington. It has since been remodeled into total submission, but it used to look like this:
Cheers!

Looks like maybe a National style with a little extra Victorian gingerbread on it. I would call the detail above the window a decorative cornice. I will be on Vashon Island this weekend for a vintage motorcycle event. There are still some of those old houses left over there, especially in Burton.

I would like to have seen more of it, but it does show some Queen Ann elements.
Another Vashon native here -- grew up in my grandparents' old house just south of Burton, on Shawnee Road. Also remodeled beyond recognition these days.
If you'd like to track the history of the house, try the Puget Sound Regional Archive in Bellevue,
Thanks for all the responses. I did indeed find the picture at the Puget Sound Archives, Joshua. That place is so cool! I want to go in there when I get back home and scan as many photos of old Burton houses as I can, and post them for the enjoyment of like minded fellows. By the way, I have been living Harry Lester's old cabin on 115th for a while now.
Cheers!
