The Roberts/Luther/Mitchell House embodies distinctive characteristics of type, period, and method of construction in multiple eras through its additions and modifications. Symbolic of their owners’ financial wealth and social standing, these houses represent stability of not only the individual residents, but of the community as well. These were the houses which replaced the early rough settlement houses and reflect on the owner’s desire to appear modern and urbane.
