The Joseph Lytle House is a private residence in Hoquiam, Washington. Built in 1900, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[2]
Description
The 2+1⁄2-story, four-bedroom, wood-frame house is approximately 35 by 50 feet (11 m × 15 m). It is Queen Anne in style, with the irregular massing, projecting porches and window bays, and a variety of exterior textures consistent with that style. The interior woodwork is golden oak. Behind the home are a carriage house, which is connected to the main house by a breezeway, and the caretaker's cottage.[2]
History
The Lytle brothers, Robert and Joseph, ran a grocery business in Fairhaven, Washington, then moved their business to Hoquiam.[2] In the 1880s, Hoquiam became a center for lumber.[3] When a customer paid his bill by turning over his logging operation, the brothers became part of the logging industry.[2]
Joseph built his house on a hill overlooking Hoquiam in 1900, next door to his brother's grander mansion.[4] After his death in 1914, his widow lived in the home until the early 1930s. In the 1940s, the home was converted to apartments.[2]
