The Begich Towers in Whittier, Alaska, house most of the town’s residents along with a grocery store, post office, church, police station, and other essential services. Built during the Cold War era, the massive structure allows residents to avoid harsh winter conditions by living, working, and accessing daily necessities without needing to go outside for long periods of time. It’s one of the most unusual examples of concentrated residential real estate in the United States.
