This understated yet comfortable and elegant Queen Anne cottage was the home of Preston M. Troy, who graduated from the Olympia Collegiate Institute and went on to play a large role in Olympia politics and business, serving for a time as city and prosecuting attorney. The home retains many of its attractive features and is located in the South Capitol National Historic District. It is on the local register in its own right. Sources place its built date between 1893 and 1896.
