National Register of Historic Places federal list of historic sites in the United States

The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred preserving the property.

It is a wood-frame building built between 1892 and 1895. Its hipped roof porch with columns reflects "influence of the local World's Fair Classic Style which developed after 1898. It therefore was probably added after the original construction, possibly between 1908 and 1913 when the rear room was added.". It had become a boarding house within 15 years of its construction.
