The Charles and Elizabeth Henderson House is significant under HRB Criterion C as an excellent example of Tudor Revival domestic architecture. The style became popular in the late 19^th century and continued through the 1940’s. In truth, the style does not pull only from Tudor architecture but became an amalgam of various English periods and styles of domestic architecture. The style is defined by its decorative use of multiple materials – including decorative (non-structural) half-timbering and brick, stone, and/or stucco – as well as its use of casement windows, irregular massing, long and asymmetrical eaves, and the use of the Tudor arch. The style’s flexibility allows for great variation of expression and the individualization of each house’s plan and decor to the builder or owner.

The Henderson House displays the character-defining structural and decorative features of a Tudor Revival house. The house features a front-facing gable, overhanging second story, long eaves with varied heights, an attached garage, and an asymmetrical plan. The tall, narrow casement windows are grouped; all have multiple panes and some feature transoms. The house also features a front entry porch with a Tudor arch, decorative half-timbering in the second story with stucco in between, decorative use of brick on the front steps, a large masonry chimney, and simple decorative vergeboards. All of these features are defining characteristics of the Tudor Revival style and qualify the Charles and Elizabeth Henderson house for designation under HRB Criterion C.
