It is located on Navarro Beach Road (possibly also called Navarro Bluff Road) near the mouth of the Navarro River.

The listing was the result of a nonprofit group's effort to preserve and restore two historic buildings. The project made some head-way, including getting the National Register listing, but failed in other respects. In 2019, there are renewed efforts, including a June 2019 event.

Navarro-by-the-Sea Center (NSCR), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit seeks to "save the two remaining historic structures of the original town of Navarro at the mouth of the Navarro River, and reopen them for public education, interpretation, and research."[3]
