Episode Synopsis

These simple cottages, housing Alaska Engineering Commission engineers and railroad workers, started dotting the landscape of Anchorage in the late 1910s. Many were ultimately turned into offices, others were moved, and some were even dragged to the dump, where the fire department would set them ablaze just for practice. The remaining homes—such as the Leopold Davis house, home to Anchorage’s first mayor—offer a window into life in Anchorage during the 1920s and ’30s.
