Statement of Significance:

The Redstone House is significant as the best extant example of Queen Anne architecture in the city of Eveleth and one of the finest structures on the Iron Range. Mr. W. Bailey, a fee officer in Eveleth, was the original owner and builder of the house. As fee officer, he insured, on behalf of his clients, that proper payment was made by area mining companies to those persons or corporations owning lands being mined. Fees had also to be paid on leased land. The Eveleth fee office was, during his career, the second largest fee office in the Lake Superior Iron District. The house is significant, therefore, both for its architecture and its association with Bailey and the fee system.
