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

The rectangular single-story log building measures 35 by 25 feet, constructed with round logs connected through saddle notches at each corner point.

Built in 1935 by Joe and Blanche Puhl, this house formed part of the Matanuska Valley Colony settlement project during Alaska's developmental phase.

The house differs from other colony structures as the Puhls organized their own construction team rather than relying on Works Progress Administration crews.

Located at the intersection of Scott Road and Glenn Highway, the Puhl House sits on a 5-acre property that maintains its original residential function.

The logs used in construction decrease in diameter and length as they rise to the eaves, with oakum chinking filling the gaps between them.
