The Judges was built circa 1809 by Peter Robinson, who served as Secretary of State for Delaware under three governors and was appointed Associate Justice for Sussex County in 1832. After his death in 1836, his daughter Mary and her husband Edward Wootten occupied the house and made substantial renovations; Wootten served as Associate Justice from 1847 to 1887. Other members of the bench who lived there included Chancellor David T. Marvel, Judge Henry C. Conrad, Judge Caleb M. Wright, and Judge Battle R. Robinson. In 1979, the home and its adjacent law office were listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
