It remained in the possession of the Hamilton family until 1972 when it was acquired by the City of Clifton. The homestead was originally located about 1,000 feet north on the opposite side of Valley Road from the current location. In 1973 it was moved to save the buildings from being demolished. and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 13, 1982.[3]
