The Don Maguire Duplex is significant for its association with the life of Don Maguire, the building's owner and principal occupant. Maguire was interesting and a gifted man who made contributions in numerous fields during his life. He was a geologist, miner, archeologist, linguist, engineer, explorer and author and collector. The Maguire Duplex is architecturally significant as a good example of a Victorian-styled two family residence. Of particular interest is the carved stone decoration which features mining and engineering implements symbolic of Maguire's career." - National Register Nomination form

Further information about the life of Don Maquire is summarized at the this website.   The building now serves as offices for the National Association for Child Development and is in very good condition.
