Historic Structures Within Lake Clark National Park and Preserve
Hoagland AK. 1982. Historic Structures Within Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
This survey of the historic architectural resources in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve was undertaken by the Alaska Regional ffice of the National Park Service in cooperation with the Historic American Buildings Survey, National Park Service. Rather than a methodical survey of every standing building in the Park, the field work, undertaken in a two-and-a-half-week period in June, 1982, consisted of visits to sites that were recommended by previous surveys or by Park residents as having some historical interest. To the extent possible in a short period of time, sites that dated from before 1945 were surveyed. The resources consisted of complexes of buildings, mostly log cabins with auxiliary structures. The accumulation of information on these sites resulted in a greater understanding of the settlement of the area, particularly the arrival of white trappers and prospectors in the early twentieth century. The buildings themselves are of simple construction, reflecting the way of life of these early settlers. This paper is divided into four parts. Part I places the sites in context by providing an historical and architectural overview. Part II lists the sources of information and discusses the methodology used to undertake the survey. Part III makes a few recommendations for further action. Part IV is the inventory of the buildings.
