They have been attributed to architect Gustav Stickley, known for his development of American Craftsman architecture, although his direct involvement has not been proven. They are wood-framed houses built by I. O. Jillson, the owner of the Gladstone Mine. The one called the Lower Mansion, built c. 1912–1914, "has an L-shaped floor plan with a triple-intersecting hipped roof". The Upper House, built c. 1909, has a steep gable roof.

They are located up a rural road on a steep wooded 3.10 acres (1.25 ha) and overlook Cline Creek.[2]
