Frank Bloom, the original owner of the lot, built the Bloom House in 1882 for the family's residence.
The Bloom's towering mansion, patterned after a mid-western Victorian house they had admired, was built of brick with native Trinidad sandstone used for the trimming. The exterior of the building was influenced by French architecture, then rare in the frontier West of the 1880's. This is particularly exemplified in the metal-covered mansard roof. The cornices and rosettes are made of plaster, and ornamental woodwork marks the porch on three sides of the house.
