The house is important in history of Central Avenue Corridor and its Billionaire's Row and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to being one of the remaining unaltered North Central Avenue mansions.

Subsequently, the property became a boys' home before becoming home to the Arizona Historical Society and its offices and the Phoenix Trolley Museum in what was the dental office. The home underwent a nine-month renovation in 2012-2013, and as of 2024, the building is owned by the city of Phoenix and is home to Arizona Humanities, the state National Endowment for the Humanities affiliate.
