It is believed to have been built between 1893 (when farmer and rancher William Redding first paid taxes on the property) and 1902 (when reports about a great flood noted about the Redding ranch). It is significant as a "very good example of the single file plan of the New Mexico Vernacular type".[2]

The house includes an unstuccoed adobe room on its north side used as a garage, believed to be part of the original house. The listing includes the house and a turn-of-the-19th-century era ornamental wire, pipe and cast-iron fence in front.[2]

It was listed on the National Register as part of a 1988 study of historic resources in the Mimbres Valley of Grant County.[3]
