It was placed on the Register in 1993 for its significance as an example of Italianate and Colonial Revival architecture styles and its association with Capt. Frederick Woodbury, [cite web | title =California - Los Angeles County | work =National Register of Historic Places | publisher =National Park Service | url =http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/ca/Los+Angeles/state10.html | accessdate =2008-01-07] one of the founders of Altadena [Altadena History] .

The home was built in 1882 for Capt. Woodbury, and his wife, Martha. The home was the headquarters for a ranch that included a two-story bunkhouse for the ranch hands. Citrus groves and vineyards were planted on the land.cite web | title =The Woodbury Ranch | url=http://www.woodburystory.com/system/files/Woodbury+Story+Article+2.pdf | format =PDF | accessdate =2008-01-07] Capt. Woodbury planted the deodar cedars that line the contemporary Santa Rosa Ave., also known as Christmas Tree Lane, another National Register site. [cite web | title =Christmas Tree Lane | url=http://www.woodburystory.com/system/files/Christmas+Tree+Lane+Altadena+CA.pdf | format =PDF | accessdate =2008-01-07] In 1892, Capt. Woodbury sold the home to a man named Walker, who in turn sold it to Hampton L. Story in 1894. During the decades following Story's death, the home became a coffee shop, sheriff's station, a fire engine house, office building and a tea house.
