Whittier Alaska Town In One Building Begich Towers
What if your entire town… lived inside one building? Welcome to Whittier, Alaska, where most residents live under one roof—and ordinary life looks very different from anywhere else in America. During World War Two, the United States Army developed this remote port as a strategic supply route. Today, Begich Towers houses most of Whittier’s residents. Homes, essential services, and everyday routines are concentrated in a place that feels like a small city inside. And getting in by road means passing through a mountain tunnel shared by road traffic and trains, operating on a carefully managed schedule. In a country built around endless highways and sprawling cities, Whittier offers a startling reminder: sometimes, an entire community can gather under one roof.
