It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 1983, for its significance in architecture and exploration/settlement. The house is associated with the Terhune family, early settlers in what was then New Netherland. Recent genealogical research has corrected long-standing family lore, which mistakenly claimed the Terhunes were French Huguenots who arrived in 1637 aboard the ship Calmar Sleutel.
