Albert and Anne Sutton were early settlers in Pitt Meadows, arriving in March 1910. They acquired a 70 acre farm property from John Stickle, a director of the Adventists; this had been part of the land originally owned by the Adventists. The house appears to have been built soon after the Suttons acquired the property. Albert was a mixed and dairy farmer, and became involved in the local community, serving as school trustee for several years and also as a District Councillor.
The Sutton Farm includes a farmhouse and several wood-frame outbuildings that represent a typical farmstead from the early twentieth century in Pitt Meadows, including a barn, garage, storage shed and secondary dwelling. The main house is a two-storey, front gabled wood-frame house with side wall dormers and a full-length front verandah. Indicative of the high water table, there is a full-height basement. It has retained many original elements including horizontal wooden siding, cornerboards, and shingle cladding in the gable peak.
