Facts and practical information

The Point Barrow Refuge Station is a historic building in the Browerville section of Utqiaġvik, Alaska. Built in 1889, it is the oldest wood-frame building in Utqiaġvik. Its main portion is a rectangular structure with a steeply-pitched gable roof, to which a number of additions have been made. One early addition was a shed-roof section, with the capacity to hold 20 tons of coal; this structure later became the main room of Brower's Cafe. The building is now finished in weatherboard, but was original sheathed in vertical planking. ()
