Buckner Building
The Buckner Building is an abandoned former U.S. military building in Whittier, Alaska. It was constructed by the military in 1953 as a combined mess hall, sleeping quarters, recreational, medical and administrative facility[1] and was formerly one of the largest buildings in Alaska, often being referred to as "the city under one roof".[2] The building was slightly damaged by the 9.2 1964 Alaska earthquake, however damage was minimized by its reinforced concrete construction.[1] [3] There was no structural damage to the building itself, and subsequent inspections found the building to be in good condition.[1] The building continued to operate until 1966, at which point it was shuttered when the Port of Whittier was transferred to the General Services Administration for disposal.[1]
