Its name was inspired on Irish Admiral William Brown's house, built in the same district and painted in yellow.

The works were carried out by Buenos Aires and Ensenada Port Railway (BA&EP) that made its inaugural trip on September 1, 1865, with a 5-km length.

[2] When the Buenos Aires Central Station was destroyed by fire in February 1897, the BA&EP moved its terminus to Venezuela station (placed on the junction of Paseo Colón and Venezuela) during a brief period of time before moving again to Casa Amarilla.

[3] In 1898 the BA&E was acquired by rival company Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway that took over the line.

[10] The house currently hosts the Department of Naval Historic Studies and the "Instituto Browniano", and has a library and a room for multiple uses.
