Statement of Significance This building is historically significant, relative to National Register Criterion A, for its association with Louisville's commercial growth during the first half of the twentieth century. The building is architecturally significant as a representative wood -frame false front commercial building. The property's significance in these regards is not to the extent that would qualify it for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It would, however, qualify for National Register eligibility as a contributing property within a potential downtown Louisville Historic District. The small shed, located to the rear is well under fifty years of age, and would be considered a non- contributing resource within any potential historic district. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: This building's historical integrity has been compromised to a moderate degree by changes to the facade as it has changed business uses over the years. The building's exterior wall material is also not historic.
