The two buildings are rare examples of twin duplexes, each having been constructed as a two-story side-by-side duplex with a mirrored design to accommodate the duplex form. The Alfred Parker Duplexes are also notable for their excellent representation of the American Foursquare architectural style, as well as their outstanding workmanship, strength of design, and clear association with each other.
