Statement of Significance (as of designation - December 21, 1965):
For a brief period before his death, this was the home of Frederic Remington (1861-1909), who realistically documented the life of the post-Civil War West in his art work. Remington designed this gambrel-roofed, fieldstone-and-shingle two-story house himself. Theodore Roosevelt said of the artist's prodigious output, "The soldier, the cowboy and rancher, the Indian, the horses and cattle of the Plains, will live in his pictures and his bronzes, I verily believe, for all time."
