Ketchikan Ranger House

The Ketchikan Ranger House, built in 1916, is a historic home located in the picturesque Captain's Hill district of Ketchikan, Alaska. Designed in the Vernacular Victorian style by the USDA Forest Service, this charming 1+1⁄2-story house served as the residence for U.S. Forest Service district rangers until 1978. Remarkably preserved, it showcases original woodwork and finishes, reflecting its historical significance. The house features a unique gable roof with dormers and was constructed for just $650, making it a fascinating stop for tourists and researchers interested in Alaskan history. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
