Context/Comments
The Sims House is significant as one of the last Queen Anne residences on Jackson's State Street, once the Capital City's premier residential address. The residence is also significant for its association with Dr. Walter Scott Sims, a pioneering physician.

It was individually listed on the National Register on 31 March 1983, and it was later included as a "previously-listed" element (element #4) of a very small National Register district called "Houses at 500, 505, 512, & 513 North State Street," which was listed on 7 November 1995.

The house is included in "Jackson Landmarks" (1982) (pp. 98-99) and "Jackson's North State Street (Images of America)" (2009) (p. 42).
