The house was first built by a carpenter named Clarence Theedy (hence one of it's nicknames; the Thede House) in the 1800's. The home has 11 rooms in it, the brick exterior and interior structural walls are 3 brickwidth. It was built with no running water or electricity, as electricity was not used to power houses until the later 1800's. Instead, it was heated by coal.

A man named Combs took over the ownership of the farm from Clarance Theedy. It was owned for a while by the Combs Carlson when he moved to America to search for job opportunities. He began working as a smelter in Salt Lake City, where he met his future wife. The two of them raised six sons and one daughter, although three other children were lost in infancy. One of their sons, Roy, recounted his life on the farm, recalling the hot days, apple trees, milking the cows, and working with the livestock all day long.The Carlson family lost the house due to the depression. In 1916, Christian & Caroline Westesen moved to Eastlake to reside in the now famous Stonehocker House (listed in the National Historic Register as the oldest homestead in Northglenn, Co.) They resided there from 1916-1924. 9 months of this time was spent in Oregon while the property was least. Then H. W. Young took over the house. He owned the house for a very short time, selling it to the Stonehocker family in 1936.

The Stonehocker family came to own the farm and 265 acres surrounding the house. They owned cattle, sheep, and hogs. In 1965, Walter Stonehocker took control of the farm, where he lived with his family until 1977, when the City of Northglenn took over the land.

The City of Northglenn originally intended to create a park and reservoir out of the acres of land, but the plan was postponed, and so the City rented out the house and the land as open land.
