From the plaque on the building: "Built by Bartolomeo Semorile and designed by Napa architect, Luther M. Turton as an outstanding example of Victorian commercial architecture.

The Semorile family came to Napa in 1869 and started their grocery business just east of this site. Early in 1889, they established a new store and residence in this building, remaining until their retirement in 1924."
