Borgårstjórinn í Reykjavík veitti þessu húsi viðurkenningu árið 2011 vegna vel gerðra endurbóta.

Húsið er reist árið 1882 af Jóni Simonarsyni smið. Það er timburhús byggt úr tréstokkum sem hlaðið var upp milli lóðréttra stoða og telst húsið því reisiverkshús. Húsið var stækkað í nokkrum áfongum og er nu hluti af heildstæðri 19. aldar byggð í Þingholtunum.
