Also address integrity) The Matthews House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of the late Colonial Revival style and historically notable as one of the earlier homes built in the area following the cessation of the World War 11. According to the original building permit, dated November 1, 1945, the residence and garage were constructed for Richard 1. and Jessie E. Matthews by the Allison Honer Company at a cost of $10,000. After Jessie Matthews's death in 1950, Richard Matthews remained in the home for another flue years, then sold the property to Mrs. Gladys V. Tyler in 1955. Gladys Tyler and her husband John owned and occupied the residence until 1962, when they sold it to Donald H. and Joan R. Franklin. The Franklins retained the home for seven years. In 1969, the residence was sold to Joseph A. and Sara D. Melville, who retained the house until the 1980s. Ownership of the house remained in the Melville-Graham family until 1990.
