The 49th Estate: Rancho Spenardo

The 49th Estate is our answer to MTV's "Cribs," a weekly tour of Alaska homes and interviews with their owners.


Johanna Eurich and Steve Heimel's 350-square-foot cabin, also known as Rancho Spenardo, sits on an old lot in Anchorage's Spenard neighborhood. Their neighbors consider the cabin an icon of the community and a reminder of old Alaska. The diminutive dwelling is a perfect example of the old saying, "A place for everything and everything in its place." On the same lot is a house they plan to eventually tear down and in its place build eco-friendly co-op housing.

Each week, The 49th Estate takes a look inside a different Alaska home. Alaska Dispatch does not endorse the views or opinions expressed by the subjects of these videos. If you have an interesting Alaska home you think we'd like to see, e-mail jcanfield@tundratelegraph.com.
