It was deemed significant as "one of the most prominent buildings in Yuma", a building that has been photographed and painted, and having been "among the first of its kind in northeastern Colorado with modern conveniences of steam heat and hot and cold running water." At the time of NRHP listing, it was largely the same as when built by John Andrew Lett.[2]
