Book Overview

In Buildings of Alaska, Alison K. Hoagland examines Alaska's architectural history as it was developed by 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--the book's entries include such structures as aboriginal houses made of driftwood or whalebone, Russian Orthodox churches, and versions of architectural styles imported (albeit revised for Alaska's frigid climate) from California, Seattle, New England, and elsewhere in the contiguous United States.
