Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buildings of Alaska traces Alaska's architecture from the earliest dwellings made of sod, whalebone, and driftwood to the glass and metal skyscrapers of modern-day Anchorage. Focusing on the various cultural traditions that have helped shape the state's architecture, the volume also explores how Alaska's buildings reflect Alaskans' attempts to adapt to the unique conditions of their environment. Alison K. Hoagland examines the contributions to the state's architectural history of three major cultural groups: native Alaskans, Russian settlers, and Americans from the lower 48. Divided into six regions - South Central, Southeastern, Interior, Northern, Western, and Southwestern - entries cover such structures as aboriginal houses, Russian Orthodox churches, log roadhouses, false-front commercial buildings constructed during the gold rush, concrete Moderne public buildings of the 1930s, and high-rise office buildings erected during the oil boom of the 1970s and 1980s. Buildings of Alaska contains over 250 magnificent photographs, drawings, and maps, and will serve as an authoritative reference for scholars and students of architectural history, a compelling source of information for the general reader, and a splendid guidebook for the traveler.

Download or read book Building a Log Cabin in Alaska in Four Months written by Charles Underwood and published by Charles Underwood. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book should prove most helpful as a "how to" guide for a man working alone to build a strong, yet simple log cabin made to last. It can be a log cabin that a man can be proud to call his home or for a getaway home away from home on the weekend. I built the 13 by 41 foot cabin shell, including cutting down the trees and peeling off the bark, in three months while camping out in a tent. Cutting down the trees and pilling off the bark took more than half of the time in completing the shell of the cabin. It was hard work, but by using the trees on my property I saved money and it gave me a more satisfying feeling of accomplishment as I lived my dream. After about three months work the cabin was up and we moved from our tents into the cabin, however, the electrical wiring, well and plumbing, septic system, interior walls, chimney, and 8 by 28 foot add-on, which are covered in varying details (less on the wiring and plumbing) in this book, were worked on as I got the time and money. Overall, to complete the cabin, it took about four to five months time. The 757 square foot cabin was completed in about four months by working long hours, six days a week. The long camping experience was an ordeal for my wife, but my son and I enjoyed it. We thank God for His help and guidance through it all. The plans contained in this book are designed to allow a man working alone to build a cabin in a short time that will last a life time. I include an additional chapter about building a pergola type patio cover out of red cedar. 48 pictures are included in this book. Happy trails!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversity has always been central to Alaska identity, as the state’s population consists of people with many different backgrounds, viewpoints, and life experiences.

In these pages we see the panoply of LGBTQ life in Alaska today, from the quotidian urban adventures of a family—shopping, going out, working—to intimate encounters with Alaska’s breathtaking natural beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Skagway, District of Alaska, 1884-1912: Building the Gateway to the Klondike Part I, The Golden Dream, shows Skagway's rapid growth during the period from 1884 to 1912. It provides a glimpse of the historic era when Skagway emerged as a gold rush boom town to become the major city in the District of Alaska. The second section, Building the Dream, reviews the architectural development in Skagway and looks at some of the buildings and their particular characteristics. It also includes views up and down Broadway Avenue, past and present, in the core of town. This section partially explains why the Skagway of today looks as it does. In the final section, Preserving the Dream, is a summary of Skagway's preservation of objects and structures. A compilation of information about specific historic structures with a capsule history of each building within the Historic District can be found in the appendix as well as a brief flow chart for personal research. Hopefully, this study will help people to understand early Skagway life; it might also assist planners, private and public property owners, and preservationists to restore historic buildings with a sense of the town's heritage. Many people contributed to the creation of this report, from the Klondike gold rush stampeders and their chroniclers to most of thepresent residents of Skagway. All who were approached for informa tion willingly aided the project. To all who helped, I offer my heartfelt thanks. I wish to give full acknowledgment to the following people and organizations for their work and special assistance.
