The historical significance of the house results from its association with two prominent Aucklanders, Frederick John Rayner and Sir Carrick Robertson. The house was built for Rayner, a Canadian born American who settled in Auckland in 1900. He was well known as a dentist and was involved with a variety of other activities. He was governing director of Amalgamated Theatres and had logging interests at Piha.
From 1932-63 the house was owned by Sir Carrick Robertson, knighted for his services to medicine. He was associated with the foundation of Mater Misericordiae Hospital.
