This house was built for faculty at Northwestern College in 1926. It was occupied by Theodore Binhammer, a Northwestern College employee between c. 1930 and c. 1936.

Initial research indicates that none of the occupants of this house are historically significant either individually, or as a group within the proposed historic district.

This building does not meet the criteria of the NRHP for architectural significance. However, this building has sufficient architectural character to contribute to the proposed historic district.
