The house was constructed in 1919 by Torajiro Asakura as his house, and a place for him to conduct business. It survived the Great Kantō earthquake and the Second World War. For a long time it was used by the Shibuya City Assembly of Ministry of Economy and Projects.
In 2004 the house was designated as an Important Cultural Property by the government. It is managed by the Shibuya City Government and is open to the public as a museum.
