Consultation with Kentucky Heritage Council staff determined that the W. H. Haskins House retains the integrity to continue to be Listed on the NRHP under Criterion C as one of the few frame Gothic Revival houses in Danville and as part of the “Danville Multiple Resource Area" Multiple Resource Area Thematic Group, as the home has undergone little change since its listing to the NRHP in 1986.
With the advent of the Industrial Evolution, revival styles like the one exhibited here rose in popularity, harkening back to pre-industrial eras. This home represents the symmetrical subtype of Gothic Revival with a single centered, intersecting gable. Prominent here are the steeply pitched principal and subordinate roofs featuring open eaves with shallow overhangs, and open rakes with vergeboards and moderate overhangs as well as the two chimneys piercing the ridgeline of the roof (with a third projecting from the rear ell) and the one story ornamented, cast-iron porch which shelters the entry (may or may not be original to the home). The outbuilding, smokehouse and privy are contemporary with the home itself and are considered contributing resources while the barn, animal shelter and shed are not associated with the residence's period of significance. Consequently, they are considered to be non-contributing resources. The tobacco barn and dry laid stone fence are beyond the NRHP boundary and are ineligible for individual listing on the NRHP.
