Wickersham House, Historic house museum in Chicken Ridge, Juneau, United States

The Wickersham House is a two-and-a-half-story wooden building perched on a hillside in the Chicken Ridge neighborhood, overlooking downtown Juneau. Inside, the rooms contain furnishings, photographs, and writings from the time when the judge lived there.

The house was built in 1899 and purchased by Judge James Wickersham in 1928, who lived there until his death in 1939. His time there overlapped with a period when Alaska was establishing its political foundations.

The house displays personal belongings and documents from Judge Wickersham, whose decisions shaped Alaska's legal and economic development. Visitors get a sense of how an influential early 20th-century politician lived his daily life.

The museum is open to visitors and offers a look back in time through preserved furnishings and documents on display. The hillside location is reachable on foot and also offers views across the town and harbor.

The house was built in 1899 by Frank Hammond, owner of a mining company, and Wickersham bought it in 1928. After his death in 1939, his niece ran it informally as a museum from 1958, and the state of Alaska acquired the property in 1984. It joined the National Register in 1976 and became a contributing property to the Chicken Ridge Historic District in 1995.
