At the time of the NRHP listing, the farmhouse was occupied by the fifth generation of the Dudley family and the property included nine out of an original 200 acres (81 ha).[2] The property was deemed significant for its architecture and for its association with this farming family; it was then the last surviving family farm in the city of Ventura.[3]

Owned by the city of Ventura, the house is managed by San Buenaventura Heritage, Inc. which opens the house for tours on a limited basis.
