Step back in time and explore the early days in the Alaskan wilderness. From the first depot at Anchorage (Unknown Creator, c1900-1930) to cozy cabins and roadhouses like Haly's (Unknown Creator, c1900-1916), indigenous communities (Unknown Creator, c1900-1916), and bustling general stores (Scene in front of Ott and Scheele's, Unknown Creator, c1900-1916), these images capture the essence of life in the Last Frontier. Log buildings provided shelter and community during the harsh Alaskan winters. Men worked together to construct these sturdy structures, resting only when necessary (Men next to logs, Unknown Creator, c1900-1916). Portraits on porches (Portrait of an unknown man, I. A. Podgorbunskii and V. I. Podgorbunskii, 1900) and tent encampments (Tent next to log cabin, Unknown Creator, c1900-1916) complete the picture of life in this rugged, yet resilient, early Alaskan community. The Igloo Inn (Unknown Creator, c1900-1916) and Log Cabin Club (Door of the Log Cabin Club, Unknown Creator, c1900-1916) served as gathering places for travelers and locals alike, fostering a sense of camaraderie and connection in the vast wilderness.
