The Grimm House was built in 1904 by the Rucker Brothers Lumber Company. It was built for middle-management mill workers such as millwrights and machinists. Paul Grimm, for whom the house was named, was a millwright who helped build the sawmill that was to be the foundation of the City of Lake Stevens. Later, Mr. Grimm was able to purchase the residence. The Grimm family resided in the house from 1904 to 1968, the date that Mrs. Grimm died. It was purchased by William Hawkins who rented the unit until 1986. It was given to the Lake Stevens Historical Society in 1987 by Mr. Hawkins with the idea that the house would be restored and refurbished to the era in which it was constructed. The house is divided into a kitchen, kitchenette, bathroom, pantry, two bedrooms downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. It also has a front porch and a dormer above the porch. This house is the only remaining house out of four (of this style) built by the Rucker Brothers for their employees. The Rucker brothers operated one of the largest sawmills in the United States on Lake Stevens from 1904 to 1926.
