The statement of significance in the 2000 Architectural Inventory Form reads as follows: This house is historically significant, relative to National Register Criterion A, for its associations with the DeSalvo family, and with residential development in Louisville during the first half of the twentieth century. The property is also historically significant for its representation of this Louisville neighborhood's ethnic Italian heritage. The building is architecturally significant because it is one of the community's best examples of a wood frame side gabled dwelling, dating from the early 1900s. For these reasons, this property is eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C. The survey form also noted that the property "exhibits a high level of historic integrity. Two additions to the rear elevation are more than fifty years old, and are architecturally compatible with the building's original construction."
