"Home was originally built for Charles Hoffmeister, a local saloon owner and operator. This area of High St. is locally significant as an early residential area. It retains a turn of the century streetscape of large trees, spacious lots, and a pleasant mix of large and small homes. This residence is an integral part of this cohesive neighborhood quality.
