Soon after, Daniel Guggenheim announced the Guggenheim Safe Aircraft Competition.
He was approached by Stephen Birch, a wealthy miner with big hopes for the development of Alaska and its railroads, in regards to financing Birch's developing copper claims.
•
Guggenheim and his brother formed a gentlemen's agreement with Birch to form the Alaska Syndicate, which purchased just under half of the stock in Birch's company and all of the stock in the Copper River and Northwestern Railway.
The aircraft was intended to compete in a competition proposed by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics - the Guggenheim Safe Aircraft Competition.
After the completion of this house in 1912, the Goulds sold the estate to Daniel Guggenheim.
