The Cole/Carter House was constructed around 1901 at 624 Main Street. This Craftsman Bungalow residence contributes to the Chicken Ridge Historic District.

The Cole family were the first residents and occupied the house until the 1920s. Clarence Cash Cole served as Territorial Treasurer, operated the Cole Transfer Company, and was President of the Pioneers of Alaska Juneau Igloo in 1938.

The front elevation features an asymmetrically located small glass enclosed entry porch with front gable roof which intersects a side gable roof of the house. Two sets of paired double-hung windows are equally spaced between the entry porch and end of the building with a small double-hung window centered between.

The rectangular shaped building (48' x 28') is one story with partial basement. Exterior walls are clad with horizontal wood beveled clapboard siding. The side gabled roof system is covered with composition shingles. Additional features include exposed rafter tails and an attached garage. The structural system consists of wood balloon frame on a concrete foundation.
