The Benjamin Holt House is a private home in Stockton, California. Built in 1869, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[2]

History[]

The home was built for Benjamin Holt, a business man whose family-held companies would eventually merge to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company, by his father-in-law, Benjamin Brown.[3]

The house is a two-story, Colonial Revival, wood-frame structure, that has had numerous additions since it was first built. A garage was added in 1904 to house the family's new car.[2] The living area is 5,542 square feet (514.9 m2) on a half-acre lot.[4]

Part of the property has served as Boy Scout Headquarters — Forty Niner Council, including in 1980.[2]
