Statement of Significance This house was historically significant, relative to National Register Criterion A, for its association with residential development in Louisville during the first half of the twentieth century. The house was architecturally significant as well, under National Register Criterion C, as an example of a wood frame side gabled dwelling. Due to a complete loss of integrity, however, the property should be considered ineligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It would also be a non-contributing property within a potential downtown Louisville National Register historic district. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: This house's historical integrity was severely impacted when it was added onto and renovated, probably in 1970. The front porch has been moved from one side of the facade to the other, the red clay tile roof is not historic, nearly all of the windows have been changed from their historic appearance, and the size of the original building has been more than doubled. As a result, the building no longer conveys any sense of its historic significance.
