All the primary characters in Carl Barks' duck universe have homes that we visit from time to time. But they look different every time! Not necessarily because the characters move a lot, but more likely because Barks had a very relaxed attitude towards dwelling continuity in his stories; he simply drew houses as he saw fit! This was especially apparent with Donald's living quarters, which changed appearance - as well as location - in every single story.
Barks was equally relaxed when it came to more precise indications of the characters' addresses in Duckburg. All such information from all Barks' stories have been collected on this page and is presented in chronological order for each of the individual characters.
