Teeland's Country Store, also known asHerning's Place andKnik Trading Company, is a historic retail establishment located at the corner of East Herning Avenue and North Boundary Street inWasilla, Alaska. The oldest portion of this wood-frame building is a log structure at the back whose construction dates to 1905. Originally located atKnik, this log structure, then also used as a store, was moved to the newly established town of Wasilla in 1917 by its builder, O. G. Herning. Herning also built the present utilitarian wood-frame structure, which still operates today. The business was purchased by Walter Teeland in 1947, giving it its present name.[2] In 1972 the store was purchased by Jules and Leslie Mead and Neil Gail Bridgewater.
The building was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
In 1986 the Meads donated the building to the Wasilla-Knik-Willow Creek Historical Society. The building was moved and over the next ten years it was restored to the original look of theHerning's Place.[3]
1998 Jules and Leslie's son Brian Mead and his wife Colene opened Mead's Coffee House in the building which had become known as theHerning-Teeland-Mead Building.[3]
