Built in 1891, the structure was first used as a warehouse for disaster relief supplies. Miss Barton moved into the building in 1897, at which time she remodeled the structureforuse as both her residence and the Americal Red Cross headquarters. It was at this time that the famous Red Cross windows were installed, symbolizing her resolve to dedicate her life and her home to the service of the Red Cross. She lived here until her death in 1912.
