ThePuhl House, also known as theBacon House, is a historic house at the corner of Scott Road andGlenn Highway inPalmer, Alaska. It is a rectangular single-story log structure measuring 35 by 25 feet (10.7 m × 7.6 m), built out of round logs joined by saddle notches at the corners. The diameter and length of the logs reduces as they rise to the eaves; oakum chinking is used to close the gaps. The house was built in 1935 by Joe and Blanche Puhl, settlers who were part of theMatanuska Valley Colony settlement project. This building is distinctive as a colony house because it was not built by the crews of theWorks Progress Administration that built most of the colony's housing; the Puhls organized their own construction team and acquired materials for its construction on their own.[2]
The house was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
