Part 11

The house has white asphalt shingle siding and a brown roof. Entrance to the upstairs apartment is by way of an enclosed private stairway.

Originally the house had a living room, parlor, dining room, kitchen and pantry on the first floor; four bedrooms and bath on the second floor. When the house was remodeled the first floor was made into a one bedroom apartment with bath, living room, dining room and kitchen. The upstairs has a two-bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen and bath.

Carl C. Haugen came to Iowa from his native Norway in 1884, settled in Bode and then moved to Fort Dodge in 1886 where he began work as a barber. After several years he went into partnership with D. A. Noah in a large six-chair barber shop in the basement of the original First National Bank at Central Avenue and Sixth Street.

When the First National Bank Building was erected at Central Avenue and Seventh Street in 1908 Haugen opened a new six-chair shop in the building basement. He continued in the barbering business until 1945 when he retired and sold the shop. A brother, Martin C. Haugen, was with him in the barber shop until 1939.

Following his marriage in 1893, to Hanna Fredrickson, Mr. and Mrs. Haugen built the home at 1249 5th Ave. N.—one of the few homes then in that part of the city. Streets were not paved and walks were of wood. Haugen made two trips back to Norway—in 1891 and in 1900. He was one of the organizers of St. Olaf Lutheran Church here and served as secretary of the congregation for 50 years. The house was sold in 1965 when Mrs. Haugen moved to Friendship Haven.

Mr. and Mrs. Haugen were parents of four children—a daughter, Magna, who died in infancy; and three sons, Helge H. Haugen, Einar F. Haugen and Karl F. Haugen, author of this series of Fort Dodge homes. Mr. Haugen died in 1947 at age 80. Mrs. Haugen died Dec. 23, 1974. Had she lived until Feb. 3, 1975, she would have been 103 years old.
