"In 1866, Samuel Jamison, who arrived in California during the Gold Rush, constructed the original house, a vernacular Italianate style home, on 50-acres on Coffin Road (near Great America Boulevard. and Highway 101)...

Following his death in 1914 Jamison's heirs sold the house and 14 acres to Alfred I. Brown, a neighbor and notable rancher...After Brown died in 1943, his nephew's family, George M. and Lois Brown, moved into the house and lived there until they sold the land to an industrial developer in 1970."
