W.P. Mills House

The W.P. Mills House, also known as Cushing House, is a historic site located on a picturesque island in Sitka, Alaska. Built in 1915 on the foundation of an old fish-packing operation from the Russian era, this architectural gem was designed by Seattle architect Louis L. Mendal. Visitors can appreciate its unique adaptation of the original saltery's foundation, which creates a charming courtyard and offers stunning harbor views. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, making it a significant landmark for both tourists and researchers interested in Alaska's rich history.
