A plaque at the house reads: "The Van Voorhies mansion constructed in 1868 by Charles Cate was first occupied and later purchased by Albert Voorhies, prominent saddle and harness maker.

It is one of the few remaining brick Victorian building in Sacramento and is unique in having brownstone facade.

Purchased by the county of Sacramento in 1973 and it was structurally restored by Sacramento Heritage Inc. in 1976 and later purchased by Steven and Pamela A Bair for law offices.
