"The F.E. Company constructed housing for its employees in Fairbanks in 1927. Four houses that form a unified group are an exceptional example of the Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements Bungalow/Craftsman architectural style in Alaska. This style favors the use of an unadorned design, natural materials, and fine craftsmanship. Features include lowpitched gable roofs, overhangs supported by knee braces, stone or brick chimneys, and open floor plans. The design emphasizes fresh air and sunshine achieved through porches and outer rooms." - National Register Nomination form
