The mansion came into possession by Francisco Villaroman, a physician and surgeon, sometime after World War II. Villaroman expanded the two-storey structure, which became known as the Villaroman Mansion, by adding five additional floors and an observation deck. Diplomat and businessman Philippe Lhuillier and his family bought the property from the Villaromans in the early 2000s.

The mansion was abandoned for around 20 years at the time it was acquired by the Lhuilliers. It underwent renovations in the mid-2010s through the initiatives of sisters Camille Lhuillier and Angelique Lhuillier. The house was opened to the public in March 2019.
