State Local 42. Statement of significance: While 5BL.6881 is an early twentieth-century farmhouse, it was constructed 40 to 50 years after the first wave of farmers settled in the Valmont neighborhood. The farm is associated with agriculture, but the removal of the associated agricultural buildings and structures diminishes that association, so PaleoWest recommends it not eligible under Criterion A. Likewise, it is not associated with significant historical persons, so it is not eligible under Criterion B. While the residence is recognizable as a 20 th century farmhouse style structure, it is not a particularly notable example of that architectural style, and it has been altered by the installation of the metal roof and likely replacement of the wood porch. Accordingly, we recommend it not eligible under Criterion C. Finally, the property is not likely to yield important historical information as its information potential has been exhausted by this and prior recordings, so we recommend it not eligible under Criterion D. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: 5BL.6881 generally retains integrity of setting and feeling because – with the exception of the small commercial building to the west – the surrounding area is still undeveloped fields. Likewise, 5BL.6881 generally retains integrity of design, materials, and workmanship, although these areas have been slightly impacted by the construction of the rear additions and the installation of a metal roof. Finally, 5BL.6881 retains diminished integrity of association with agriculture in the Valmont neighborhood.
