Because of a local tradition not to destroy extant adobe houses, General John Franklin Miller and his wife apparently erected their 14-room, wood-frame mansion around the existing Vallejo Adobe in the early 1870s. This would account for the southwest portion of the house's three-foot thick walls. Mary Eudora Miller, the daughter of General Miller occupied the house until c. 1932, when Mrs. Vesta Peak Maxwell purchased it; she, in turn, sold it in 1953 to the Silverado Land Company, who converted the dwelling into a clubhouse for a semi-private golf club. This operated until 1966, when two groups, Westgate Development Company and American Factors of Honolulu, HI, bought the La Verge with the intention of renovating it into a golf course and resort. In 2007, Silverado Napa Corporation owned the resort property which was run by Xanterra Parks and Resorts of Colorado.

Renovations and additions have occurred over time.
