The structure was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1978, and designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1996. In 1837, Crocheron moved to Bastrop with 12 slaves.

He served as county treasurer from 1851 to 1853. Quickly amassing a fortune, Crocheron decided to build a home that would symbolize his affluence. Materials were of the finest quality available. The windows and hand-carved banister were made in New York and shipped to Galveston, and then brought by rail and wagon to Bastrop. Soon after the house was completed, the Civil War broke out.
