It is significant for its associations with the development of Lexington as a <br /> fashionable suburb in the late 19th and early 201h centuries; for its connections with early 20t century sports history and <br /> with a regionally and nationally known sorts promoter, Paul Bowser; and as an example of high-style Colonial Revival <br /> architecture in Lexington in the early 20t century. The property retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, <br /> workmanship, feeling, and association. It meets Criteria A and C of the National Register on the local and possibly state <br /> levels. Its period of significance is 1931-60. <br /> Continuation sheet 4 <br />
