According to its NRHP nomination, it was deemed significant due to its use of distinctive construction methods which are no longer in use including "supported by a stone arch which is loaded by an earthen fill which in turn, is retained by stone spandrel walls." It was also credited for maintaining the "integrity of location, design, setting, materials, feeling and association."[3]
