National Register Eligibility Assessment: Eligible Not eligible X Need data Explain: While the property has sufficient integrity and significance to be a contributing resource to a potential historic district, it lacks sufficient integrity to be individually eligible to the National Register. The property has integrity of location, setting, materials, workmanship and feeling. It lacks integrity of design due to the removal of the false front, first floor canopy, and second floor exterior door. It lacks integrity of association since it is no longer used as a store. 13A. Colorado State Register: Eligible Not Eligible X 13B. Louisville Local Landmark: Eligible X Not Eligible Although the property lacks sufficient integrity for listing in the National or State Registers, it has sufficient integrity and local significance to be nominated as a Louisville Local Landmark.
