Noted Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene designed the American Craftsman style house, which was built for conservationist Samuel Merrill in 1910.

The single-story, L-shaped house is built from redwood and Arroyo stone, giving it a natural appearance; it also uses clinker brick for decoration.

Several pairs of banded casement windows, many with wooden frames, are located throughout the facade.

[2] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 2001.
