Dear Daily Bungalow
Floor plan of the Dresden. Featuring a porch and terrace with rock foundation. A den/office off of the living room and two windows over the kitchen sink.
Here is the original dining room built in. Looks like the hardware has been replaced.
Fenner Kit House found in Northern California. Located in Bieber on a 800 acre ranch – very pristine and remote property. Years ago it was a thriving lumber mill town- today very depressed. The home was probably delivered via the railroad in town and then moved out 11 miles to the property.

A. , How exciting to hear about the Fenner house! With the original plans no less. Most of the kit home manufacturers required that the plans be returned to them after the house was erected, to keep anyone else from copying them. I have all of the info that I know about the company (and there isn’t much), on my site Antique Home. http://www.antiquehome.org/House-Plans/1921-Fenner/
I’d love to have photos of the exterior and interior of the house. I have High resolution images of the catalog pages that I can send you to give to the owners/new owners in return if you’d like them. Those plans are a piece of Oregon history, what I wouldn’t do to get my hands on them.
Dear Daily Bungalow
Hello Daily, I am a CA real estate agent and just listed a
large ranch in No. CA, not far from Oregon border with a
Fenner Mfg. home. I only know this because seller has
original house plans which stated” Ready Built House Co.
The plans are in good condition. The model is “The Oregon”
#123H” upon googling- I found your slide show on Fenner Mfg
home plans. I am curious as to how I could find out more
information on these homes- you seem to be the source!
