Puhl House, Historic log house in Palmer, United States.

The Puhl House is a single-story log structure at the corner of Scott Road and Glenn Highway in Palmer, Alaska, measuring 35 by 25 feet. Round logs are joined at the corners with saddle notches, and the logs' diameter and length shrink as they rise to the eaves. Oakum chinking fills the gaps between the logs.

The building was constructed in 1935 by Joe and Blanche Puhl as part of the Matanuska Valley Colony settlement project during Alaska's development period. The colony arose from efforts to establish farming communities in the region.

Most Matanuska Valley Colony houses were raised by Works Progress Administration crews; the Puhl House was not. Joe and Blanche Puhl organized their own construction team and obtained the building materials themselves, which is why this 1935 log house stands apart from the colony's standard housing.

The house stands at the corner of Scott Road and Glenn Highway, north of Palmer in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. It is a private residence, so visitors view the exterior from the road; the log walls and saddle-notched corners are visible from the roadside. Access is by car along the Glenn Highway.

The logs decrease in diameter and length as they rise toward the eaves, reflecting how builders used available timber efficiently. This construction detail shows the practical resourcefulness of early settlers.
