-Shorty and Annie Chambers were the registered owners of the Krautschneider House in Whitehorse in 1923. They paid the British Yukon Land Company for the house with instalments of firewood. They operated the Pioneer Stables, one of the best in town, and ran teams between Whitehorse and their trading post in Champagne.((Dianne Green, Exploring Old Whitehorse: Three Walking Tours of the Yukon's Capitol. Yukon Historical & Museums Association (YHMA) 1996: 68-9.)) In 1925, a two-storey log house was built for Shorty Chambers at 201 Black Street. The log walls were later covered with siding, but in 1995, the logs were still in good shape. The building was donated to a local non-profit and moved to the city compound until a permanent site could be found. The Chambers House had been vacant for a number of years and used for storage.((Chuck Tobin, “Heritage home will be preserved.” //The Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 17 January 1995.))

 Chambers was in failing health for several years before his death. He had been living in Champagne, but his funeral in Whitehorse was one of the largest in the history of the town, and businesses closed during the service.(("Old Timer Crosses Divide." //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 17 May 1929.))
