History: In 1910, Hap Hampton built this structure which was intended to be used as a boarding house for Fort Casey construction workers. The house was never used for this purpose. A window pane with Hampton’s name etched in the glass remains in the house. The house was owned by John Gould, and after his death the house was in probate for many years. The house was used as a rental during this time, and finally became the property of Gould’s great grandson, John Bruce. He and his wife Cora lived here for 25 years until they sold it to Mr. Harts Drucksman (c. 1968), a Seattle jeweler.
Description: Vernacular Farmhouse. Wood frame set on post and block foundation; L-shape (30’ x 24’); 3 bays wide; 1 1/2 stories.
