This home was built for Judge Charles Claypool in 1911. One of the earliest frame homes in Fairbanks, it was built on the very edge of town. In 1925, a new owner, Otis Berry, raised the home and installed a huge center cross-beam from a beached sternwheeler under it for support. During this time, the stretch of the Chena River across 1st Avenue was a shipyard.
