Assessing the significance of a house involves understanding
both its individual history and the historical
context in which it was built. This is no different
than the way that we assess the historical
significance of any other part of our built
environment. Yet, the unique qualities that houses
possess require a different sensibility. Their
setting, their design, the materials from which they
were built and the way in which they were
constructed are a special demonstration of the great
variety and nuance in people’s everyday lives. These
qualities also illustrate the way that social and
economic concerns were interconnected and found
expression in the built environment.
