The property includes small rental cottages used in Reno, Nevada's "divorce trade".

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

The neighborhood was developed after the Central Pacific Railroad moved shops nearby.

The NRHP nomination cites Buildings of Nevada as stating: "'The image of the two-story, wood-frame dwelling with its pedimented gables and bracketed eaves no doubt lent an air of respectability to Robison's speculative enterprise'" and describes that small secondary residences for rent are available, and apparently were in use from the late 1920s and the 1930s, providing the short, six-week residency required for "quickie" divorces in Nevada.
