The house was built in 1890 by early Redlands residents David and Sarah Morey for $20,000, profits from the sale of their citrus nursery. Following the Moreys' deaths in 1901, the house's second owners were Willard R. and Nancy Cheney, the brother and sister-in-law of Helen Cheney Kimberly, who was the wife of one of the founders of Kimberly-Clark Corporation. In the 1940s, it was reportedly owned by actress Carole Lombard's uncle and left to her in his will, but she died before she could take ownership. Shortly after, the mansion was purchased by Willard L. and Florence Wiseman, and then sold in 1969 to Curtiss and Phyllis Allen. The Allens owned it during the 1970s. Mr. Allen had seen the house as a young boy while in Redlands; he told someone that he was going to own that house one day. A friend told him it was for sale and Mr. Allen purchased it immediately.
