Built in 1902. Located on the south side of Western Avenue, just east of Airport Hwy (formerly, Wayne St). Property backs up to Swan Creek, and Highland Park beyond that.

3244 Fairbanks Ave.
The house at 3244 Fairbanks (southeast corner of Fairbanks and Goodhue) used to sit on the south side of Central Avenue at present day Fairbanks, before the “Central Avenue Strip.” Fairbanks, on the south side of Central Avenue, didn’t exist at that time. Actually two houses were moved from that location and driven down Fairbanks and placed on prebuilt foundations. The other was the house now at 3243 Marsrow (southwest corner of Marsrow and Goodhue).
