Signature of Keeper / Date of Action Amended Items in Nomination Section 8, Applicable National Register Criteria The nomination indicates that the Davis House is nominated under Criterion B and Criterion C, but only Criterion C is applicable. The association between Davis and the house is too weak to justify the application of Criterion B. Although he claimed the house as his residence and his family lived in it periodically, according to his biographer, Davis admitted that he spent "no more than 20 days there and fewer nights" (p. 8-5). Apparently, his primary residence during his years as a senator was in Deer Park, Maryland. On page 8-6 of the nomination, it is stated, "Although he never resided in Piedmont, the Davis house was likely considered his legal address where he paid taxes and voted." Davis' association with the Piedmont house is too peripheral to be considered significant.
