Begich Towers, Residential condominium in Whittier, Alaska.
The Begich Towers rises 14 stories high with three interconnected modules, serving as the central residential structure of Whittier, Alaska.
Originally built in 1953 as the Hodge Building for the US Army Corps of Engineers, this structure supported military operations during World War II.
The building functions as a complete town center, housing essential services including a post office, general store, church, and indoor playground.
