Statement of Significance

Constructed in 1904, the Chester Gibbs House was built during the first phase of single-family construction along East Mission Avenue, between the 200 and 800 block, what is today identified as the Mission Avenue National Historic District. In 1986, the Gibbs House was designated as a contributing historic resource of the Mission Avenue Historic District. The Gibbs House is an excellent example of the Free Classic Queen Anne style. The Gibbs House was constructed for Chester Gibbs, vice-president and manager of MacGillis and Gibbs Lumber Company located in the Empire State Building. During the property’s period of significance from 1904 to 1923, the Gibbs House achieved historic significance for its association with the architectural development and settlement of the Logan Neighborhood, specifically along East Mission Avenue, and is architecturally significant as an example of the Free Classic Queen Anne style.
