description

Summary

Significance: In 1870, the Alaska Commercial Company was given an exclusive 20-year lease by the United States government to manage the seal harvest on the Pribilof Islands. The original Webster House was built as a residence for the overseer of the company's operations at the Northeast Point Rookery on Saint Paul Island. The current Webster House, perhaps incorporating fabric from the original building, is a small, one-story, wood-frame structure. It was renovated in the early 1990s for use as a camp house by the Aleut Community of Saint Paul Island.
Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N973
Survey number: HABS AK-204
