It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] It was deemed significant for its association with John E. G. Povey and the Povey Brothers Art & Stained Glass Works company, and also for its architecture "containing high artistic merit both in the craftsmanship of the structure and the stained glass designs in many of the windows."[2]

The Povey Brothers Art Glass Works firm was founded by John E. and brother David L. Povey in Portland in 1888; it was the leading art-glass maker in the area from about 1890 to about 1920.[2]

John E. G. Povey died in the house in 1917, at age 49.[2]
