Summary
As owner and manager of the Globe Cornice Works, Charles T. Durkee was one of the only artisan businessmen providing sheet metal, and associated building materials, outside of Omaha and Lincoln between 1885 and 1919. Durkee contributed to his field with patented improvements to cornice gutter systems in 1911 and was a significant figure in Fremont's early industrial development. His modest home, which blends the Craftsman and Prairie styles, is located in one of Fremont's most fashionable streets of the 1910s and serves as an important transitional property in Fremont's residential architecture evolution.
