The building, built in stages from 1830 on, is a landmark located prominently on Genesee Street, the "principal thoroughfare" of Utica. First used as a residence, the building was purchased in 1873 by the Fort Schuyler Club which had been established earlier that year.

It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
