It has elements of Queen Anne style and was deemed "representative of the type of frame cottage that was built in Cheyenne during the last quarter of the nineteenth century."[2]

It is significant in part for its association with three persons of importance:

  • Lloyd Fredendall, whose father owned the house, and who became Lieutenant-General in the U.S. Army, notably serving in North Africa in 1942 and becoming a commander of the Second Army in 1943
  • Ferdinand W. Lafrentz, who owned the house during the 1884-87
  • Robert N. LaFontaine, a Cheyenne contractor.[2]
