Statement of Significance: The George, Todd M., House, located at 408 SE 3rd Street in Lee's Summit, Jackson County, Missouri, is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion B for its associations with former mayor and real estate developer and builder, Todd M. George, Sr.; and Criterion C for the area of ARCHITECTURE as documented in the Multiple Property Documentation Form "Historic Resources of Lee's Summit, Missouri" (the MPDF). The property has direct associations with the historic contexts "Residential Development: 1860-1960," "Railroad Market Center: 1865-1945," and "Architectural Styles and Vernacular Property Types: 1860-1960" developed as part of the MPDF and meets the MPDF registration requirements and the architectural and functional property types' integrity thresholds established in Section F of the MPDF. The property is locally significant under Criterion B for its associations with Todd M. George, Sr. under National Register Data Categories for Areas of Significance "Community Planning and Development" for his influence on the development of the physical structure of Lee's Summit and for his associations with the category "Politics/Government," for his activities on the local level as an elected official and political activist relating to "the political process" as it affected the development of Lee's Summit's infrastructure. The Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movement Craftsman style house is also locally significant in architecture as a rare, local and tangible example of a Craftsman house style and reflects the evolution of residential designs in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Lee's Summit. The architectural property type is documented in Sections E and F of the MPDF. The period of significance is 1916 - 1954, the period Todd M. George, Sr. erected and lived in the house.
