Statement of Significance <br />This house is historically significant for its association with residential development in Louisville during the first half <br />of the twentieth century, and for its association with the DiFrancia and Jacoe families. The house is architecturally <br />significant as a relatively rare brick residence, exhibiting elements of the Queen Anne style. <br />43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: <br />This house's integrity has been seriously compromised by the addition of a large corner turret at the south end of <br />the porch, and by several non -historic fluted columns and engaged columns. The artist's studio, built onto the <br />garage's east elevation, is an incompatible building, and thus detracts from the integrity of setting. Nonetheless, <br />if the porch were returned to its true historic appearance, the house would likely qualify for individual listing in <br />the National Register of Historic Places under both Criteria A and C. <br />
