Statement of Significance This building is historically significant, relative to National Register Criterion A, for its use as a doctor's office by Dr. Charles Wolfer during the early years of the twentieth century. The building is also architecturally significant, under National Register Criterion C, as a representative wood -frame false -front commercial building, dating from the early 1900s. The building's significance in these regards is probably not to the extent that would qualify it for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It would, however, qualify as a contributing property within a potential downtown Louisville historic district. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: This building displays a relatively high degree of historical integrity. There have been no additions subsequent to the original construction. The north elevation wall material is not historic, but other alterations are minimal.
