Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

June 20, 1932

This summer image shows the log buildings of the "Middle" camp associated with construction and maintenance of the road. The building at left with the large doors is assumed to be the horse barn and/or machine garage. The windowless building at right is likely the warehouse/storage structure, and the largest central building is probably the bunkhouse/living quarters. An empty freight wagon is parked at left foreground next to what appears to be the access road into the site. A cross-arm telephone pole is at left behind the barn. Many steel fuel barrels are located at right and firewood is stacked beside the bunkhouse. The yard exhibits stumps, roots and general disarray. Heavy spruce forest forms the backdrop.
