National Register of Historic Places - Luigi and Aurora Pagani House

Statement of Significant: The Luigi and Aurora Pagani House is situated in the "outskirts" of the original townsite plat of the City of Black Diamond, one of the small towns in south-central King County initially established as mining operations flourished in the late 19th century.1 While its primary coal mines ceased operation more than 70 years ago, the cultural landscape of Black Diamond continues to reflect a variety of industrial, environmental and social factors that shaped it. The Pagani House is one of the most well-preserved of the archetypal miners' cottages to survive several decades of economic, physical and demographic changes within the community. The Pagani House is significant under Criterion A based on its direct association with the earliest period of settlement during the Black Diamond Coal Company Era (1885-1904), as well as its strong association with the Italian-American immigrant community and the ethnically diverse work force that characterized mining communities. The Pagani House is significant under Criterion C as a simple vernacular house type that both embodies the distinctive characteristics of plank wall construction, and exhibits physical characteristics that illustrate historic and cultural patterns indicative of coal mining communities and company towns elsewhere in the American West and the nation.
