[1][2] The property where Casa Klumb originally belonged to José Ramón Latimer and his wife Esther C. Cody, who lived there at the end of the 19th century.

In 1943, architect Henry Klumb, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, was invited by then-Governor of Puerto Rico Rexford Tugwell to serve as Director of the Design Committee of Public Works.

Klumb and his wife lived in the house until their death in November 1984 as a result of a car accident.

In 1997, it was included in the National Register of Historic Places as a Regional Monument for its architectural relevance.
