Doc Meister - Community Hall

for Kotlik Community Development Plan

Community Hall (ID: 2052)

DESCRIPTION:

The Kotlik Community Hall was constructed about 1978 and four additions to it were built in different years later. The hip-roof area is addition to the main hall to increase space. The furnace/ bathroom area seen on the far left of the above photo was added about the same time as the hipped-roof area. The storage space on the far right and the back porch on center of the above photo were added last. The large satellite dish is for the United Utilities building located adjacent to the hall.

The photo below shows the main entranceway (where the little girl is at far left). The small gazebo like structure around the fuel storage tank was built by the Alaska National Guard in the late eighties and it has fuel spill containment at the bottom.

The hall is constructed on a post and pad foundation and with frost upheaval there has been problems with the building shifting.
