The Garden House dates back since the birth of the Plaza. It had thick manposteria walls with ifil wood beams and clay tile roofing. Some alterations were made through the years so that the building no longer contains the original ifil wood beams, but the tile roof has been retained. Capiz shell windows, similar to those found in the original Palace, are seen here.

The structure was first used as storage space for garden tools and supplies. Later, it was utilized by the Americans also as a schoolhouse. The Guam Museum has been housed in the structure since 1954 displaying items that represent the history of Plaza de Espana.
