Pearson Cabin, Log cabin in Denali Borough, United States
The Pearson Cabin features traditional log construction methods, using local spruce logs that were carefully axed and whipsawed to specific dimensions for assembly.
Built in 1927 by park rangers Fritz Nyberg, Lee Swisher, and Grant Pearson, this 11-by-13-foot structure cost only 15 dollars for window glass, hinges, and nails.
The cabin demonstrates the architectural techniques of early twentieth-century wilderness structures through its use of moss and dirt as insulation materials.
Located at Mile 53.8 west of Park Road near the Toklat River crossing, the cabin continues to function as a ranger station within Denali National Park.
The structure represents one of 22 National Register of Historic Places sites in Denali Borough, preserving the legacy of early park management practices.
