Statement of Significance The Dickey house is historically significant for its association with Louisville's historical development during the first half of the twentieth century. The families who lived here were employed, either directly or indirectly, by area coal mines, and contributed significantly to Louisville's social and economic fabric. Due to a rather substantial loss in integrity, however, this property should be considered ineligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: This house's historical integrity has been compromised by the alteration of several window openings, including all of those on the facade, and by the application of non-original asbestos shingle siding. The property, as a result, is no longer able to convey a sense of its historic significance.
