The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It was deemed significant as "the only prototype of an academic architectural style in Kimball County." It served three fraternal lodge chapters: of Knights of Pythias, of Woodmen, and of Royal Neighbors of America that joined together to create a new building, when the lease they had shared for a previous space was running out.[2]
