Tempe Historic Property Survey

Built by D. A. Carns in late 1914, the house is best known as the D. G. Buck House, and was one of the first homes built in the Goodwin Homes Addition which opened in May of 1914. Carns farmed near Scottsdale and was Tempe's road overseer during the 1920s. Buck emigrated to Arizona from Kansas in 1891. His major business was hauling rock and gravel, although he also owned a livery and feed stable first at 4th St. and Maple Ave., and later at the Farmer Ave. location. Buck was a member of the City Council during the teens.

This house is one of few two-story homes in this area of Downtown Tempe. Two-story Bungalows are very rare.
