This one-story Queen Anne cottage is a historic contributing property within the
Court Street-Chemeketa Street Historic District. It was built around 1890 by David and Julia Simpson, owners at the time of the parcel bounded by 18th, Court, State and Mill Creek. It is believed that they built this cottage and two others to the east of it, although their personal residence was at the northeast corner of 18th and State (now commercial property). The Simpsons sold this house in 1891 and several additional sales led to it's purchase by
Michael B. and
America E. Mitchell in 1904.
