Supplemental information provided by NOAA: 1930–1931 Company House/Aikow Hotel—The Company House was a 30 ft. x 56 ft. building constructed on a hillside for the accommodation of unmarried employees and transients. The open basement allowed for a dining room, kitchen, and cook’s quarters. The main floor contained three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a library. The upper floor also had three bedrooms and a bathroom (Bower 1931, 74; Bower 1932, 76). In 2001, the building was restored as the Aikow Hotel by the St. George Tanaq Corporation with Crab Disaster Relief Funds. In the current structure, four bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the main floor. The upper floor has six bedrooms and two bathrooms. The dining/kitchen areas and library room remain, but the cook’s quarters is now used for storage.
