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
