In 1920, developer Robinson White built 19 small frame bungalows of identical form and style on Fairview, now 62nd Avenue, in the original Fairmount Heights Subdivision. These houses closely resembled the Rosita style of bungalows produced by Sears, Roebuck and Company. The bungalows illustrated the importance of mail order houses in developing the post World War I era and represented a significant trend in the development of Fairmount Heights. Each home had a hipped roof, central chimney, and a shed roof sheltering the three bay principal façade. Of the nineteen original houses, the following bungalows remain: 505, 509, 603, 606, 607, which was converted to a church, 610, 611, 700, 709, 711, and 718.
