As one of the largest homes in Stroud, it reflected Carpenter's importance as a commercial leader in the city. A factor in the house retaining its architectural integrity is the care given it by Joseph's son and daughter-in-law Paul F. and Ruth (Riley) Carpenter, who resided in the home through 1986 when it was placed on the National Historic Register.
