History
The home was built for Benjamin Holt, a business man whose family-held companies would eventually merge to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company, by his father-in-law, Benjamin Brown.
The house is a two-story, Colonial Revival, wood-frame structure, that has had numerous additions since it was first built. A garage was added in 1904 to house the family's new car. The living area is 5,542 square feet (514.9 m2) on a half-acre lot.
Part of the property has served as Boy Scout Headquarters — Forty Niner Council, including in 1980.
