In 1968, the house was the first designated landmark by the county of Ventura.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The listing included two additional contributing buildings, an 1886 barn and an outhouse, as well as non-contributing buildings, on 27.2 acres (11.0 ha).[1][3]
It was deemed significant "as the most outstanding example of Queen Anne architecture in the Santa Clara Valley between Santa Paula and Ventura", and also "for its association with pioneer farmer George Washington Faulkner and the contributions he made to the successful development of agriculture in Ventura County."[3]: 5
UC Hansen Agricultural Research and Extension Center edit
The property was acquired in 1997 by the University of California to serve as the UC Hansen Agricultural Research and Extension Center.[4] It was one of nine research and extension centers operated by the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources. With a strong agriculture economy in the Santa Clara River Valley, university researchers used the fertile soil to study various crops.[5]
