Unlike the previous house, this one looks like turn-of-the-century architecture and it is. Built in 1903 by Ben Sorenson, this steep, hipped-roof house with pediment-topped slant bays and a pedimented stoop is identical in form to the house Henry Sorenson had built at 1651 J Street in 1902. But similarities stop at form; this version is totally without decoration while the “J” Street house is nothing but decoration!
