Cable House and Station

The Cable House and Station, located in Sitka, Alaska, is a historic telecommunications building that served as a key hub for the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System (WAMCATS) during the early 20th century. This modest two-story structure, notable for its hip roof and square design, played a crucial role in military communications amid the Alaska boundary dispute with Canada. Recognized for its historical significance, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers interested in military history and telecommunications.
