Debrum House, Historic plantation house in Likiep Atoll, Marshall Islands

The Debrum House features a central parlor measuring 19 by 19 feet, two bedrooms, and walls constructed from California redwood imported during construction.

The residence, built in 1888 by merchant and engineer Joachim DeBrum, became the first location in Micronesia listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The house contained a collection of over 1000 books and early sound recordings from Micronesia, documenting the regional history and traditions.

The wooden structure stands on concrete piers and underwent major renovations in the 1970s, including the installation of metal roofing to replace the original materials.

This plantation home remains the only surviving structure of its kind within the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands despite the harsh tropical climate.
