In 1959, the American Institute of Architects complimented the houses for their "fine scale," "excellent proportion," "simple direct use of local materials," and "skillful site planning" (Seattle Department of Neighborhoods).

In 1979, the Seattle City Council designated the surviving 11 cottages a Seattle Landmark because they represented examples of Storey's work. They are also on the National Register of Historic Places.
