Bradford House was constructed around 1910 at 839 Dixon Street. This Craftsman Bungalow-style residence is a contributing member of the Chicken Ridge Historic District.

Zina and Gertrude Davis Bradford occupied the home. Zina worked for the Standard Oil Company and was appointed postmaster in the 1920s

The front elevation is asymmetrical in its composition featuring paired double-hung windows in the small roof dormer and a square single sash window on the right side of the enclosed porch addition. The nearly square building (25' x 24') is 1-1/2 stories with full basement. Also features a nearly full length (20' x 7.5') shed roofed addition (1940's) to the west side.

Exterior walls are clad with stucco on the first story, coursed wood shingle siding on the gables, and horizontal beveled clapboard siding on the addition. Although the stucco was added in later years the building retains its architectural integrity. The side gabled roof system is covered with composition shingles. Additional features include partial length shed roofed roof dormer, closed cornice gable ends, and exposed rafter tails. The structural system consists of wood balloon frame and concrete foundation.

John Godlove Heid was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo.

Heid was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio on December 14, 1852. From his native state, he migrated to Denver, Colorado in 1872 where he engaged in mining. He then went to New Mexico for several years prospecting for gold.

At some time in his career he studied law, as he opened a law office in Juneau soon after his arrival on April 11, 1885. He has practiced law since that date, and is today the oldest member of the Alaska Bar Association in active practice.

He was married at Juneau in July 1888, to Henrietta Jensen, a government school teacher. This union produced three daughters: Mrs. V.H. Dupuy, Gertrude and Elizabeth.

The family has lived in the same dwelling house in Juneau, where the daughters were born, educated and one married.

Heid has been continuously engaged in mining and developing the mineral resources of Alaska for the past thirty years, and is perhaps more familiar with the mining conditions in Southeastern Alaska than any other man, having been identified with many of the mineral locations which have in later years been developed into producing mines.

Heid was Republican National Committeeman of Alaska for eight years and was delegate to the Philadelphia convention when McKinley was nominated for his second term. John Heid also attended the national convention in 1904 when Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for President.

John Godlove Heid died in San Francisco January 24, 1917. He had gone to that city to argue a case for the Territorial Legislature.
