Notes: This farmhouse was built as part of a New Deal program that established farms in Alaska for needy families from overcrowded rural areas in the lower 48 states. Unlike most of the other farms and farmhouses built in this area as part of the program, Puhl House was not built by Works Progress Administration crews. Rather, it was built by the family that originally inhabited it, with materials procured by them.
