It was home of a Basque family, Jose and Gertrude Anasola, who operated a Basque boardinghouse nearby. It is a 26 feet (7.9 m) by 30 feet (9.1 m) lava rock structure that is "boxy" in appearance, which is speculated to perhaps be in imitation of the boxy Colonial Revival style frame houses being built in the area by non-Basque wealthy sheepmen.[3]
