The Haugen, E.E., Residence is an excellent local example of the Colonial Revival style of architecture used for homes built in the U.S. during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The residence is a local interpretation of a nationally advertised architect’s design that appeared in The Woman’s Home Companion between 1898 and 1904. The grand home, built in 1904, was one of the early landmarks in Brookings and was even featured in an early twentieth-century promotional booklet for the town. The house is currently privately owned.
