Begich Towers Condominium

I believe there is no other place in the world where an entire town lives in a single building. The ground floor is open to the public, while the rest is restricted to residents only — which is completely understandable, as they deserve their privacy.

Entire town is living in ONE building. That is mind-blowing. It was a unique experience for me. I came here in mid-Jan and it was too windy.

Fascinating place. Worth a visit when visiting the town. There is a library and historical photos. Ground floor open to public, others closed.

This is one place that you must visit when in Whittier. it's history is amazing. How whole town can live in one building. Of course, things has changed; but history still remained.

I thought, what the hell ? and gave it five stars because of the coolness factor. Despite the fact that it's a huge 14 story building practically in the middle of nowhere, and damned near everyone in Whittier lives there, it's reputed to be haunted. Enough so for it to make the Top 10 list of the most haunted places in Alaska. As is the entire town. It was ravaged by the Tsunami that followed the 1964 Earthquake that also claimed 13 lives of the 70 residents who lived in Whittier at the time. It was built in 1956 by the military, and transferred to civilian ownership in 1975.

I have always liked living in alaska and dislike the lower 48and the majority of the people. I am looking for a studio or small place

Hotel is very old as the whole town of Whittier, but views are not bad

Impossible to miss and certainly unique! And somehow it makes me crave Neapolitan ice cream if I look at it for too long.
