Established in 1948, the Fir Oaks Addition is a subdivision situated near Liberty Elementary School in the West Albany area of Albany, Oregon, United States. Its property includes 27th and 28th Avenue, Park Terrace SW, Lawnridge SW and part of Lakewood Drive. Guidelines for home development and ownership were laid out in the Fir Oaks Addition Charter. It mandated strict requirements to create a neighborhood affordable only for wealthy Albany residents. Developers chose the Ranch-style house as their common design module. Yet, these homes were not the regular 1000 square foot box plans that dominated domestic architecture during this post-World War II period. They were larger versions, of the Split-Level Ranch, Raised Ranch or California Ranch styles that offered more square footage.
