Fairbanks Flats, Historic residential complex in Beloit, United States.
Fairbanks Flats consists of four apartment buildings with concrete block walls and shed roofs, containing six two-story residential units each.
Constructed in 1917 by Fairbanks Morse company to house Black workers migrating from the Southern United States during World War I industrial expansion.
The residential complex became the foundation of Beloit's Black community, reflecting the social and industrial changes during the early twentieth century.
The property maintains its original structural elements and stands as a testament to corporate-built worker housing from the World War I period.
Eclipse Home Makers, a Fairbanks Morse subsidiary, developed these apartments after preventing the city from acquiring the land for a public park.
