| Description of Significance |
THE AMERICAN BAPTIST HOME MISSION HOUSE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THE FREE CLASSIC SUBTYPE OF THE QUEEN ANNE STYLE OF AMERICAN DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE AND IT IS VERY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. BUILT IN 1905 BY PROMINENT TAHLEQUAH BUILDER WILLIAM ALSTON, THIS RESOURCE RETAINS A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF INTEGRITY, HAVING NO ALTERATIONS, AND IS CONSTRUCTED ON THE SAME PLAN OF THE NEARBY 1906 ALSTON-BEDWELL HOUSE AT 315 NORTH STATE AVENUE (NRIS# 05001002). THE AMERICAN BAPTIST HOME MISSION HOUSE IS BEING NOMINATED UNDER BOTH CRITERION A FOR ITS STATE-LEVEL SIGNIFICANCE TO THE HISTORY OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND NATIVE AMERICAN EDUCATION IN OKLAHOMA AND CRITERION C FOR ITS LOCAL ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE. |
