This was the home of James and Simon Casey, agricultural implement merchants, between c. 1885 and c. 1936. This home has some historical interest as the home of merchants James and Simon Casey. Initial research indicates that his career is not significant, therefore, this house does not meet the criteria for local historical significance. In the proposed historic district for this area, this house would be considered contributing to the overall historical significance of the district under criterion B, association with significant persons as a group.

This building does not meet the criteria of the NRHP for architectural significant because of a lack of integrity. However, this building has sufficient architectural character to contribute to the proposed historic district.
