Description

Photograph of the store in Gulkana, Alaska as viewed from the front. A dirt road stretches horizontally through the foreground. The store stands on the far side of the road at center. A wood plank walkway stretches in front of it, functioning as a sidewalk. The store is constructed of logs. The door stands at center and is flanked by a window on either side. Above the door, a sign hangs and reads, "GULKANA," and above it, antlers hang. To the left of the building, an alleyway passes between the store and a larger log building standing in partial view at left. A wood walkway extends from the third floor on the right side of the building. A ladder spans the vertical space between the walkway and the ground. To the right of the store, another building stands in partial view along the right frame.
