Anita Kodzoff House

Posted on Historic Properties by Dorene Lorenz · January 09, 2024 5:09 AM

The Anita Kodzoff House, a duplex, sits at 107 West First Street on the southeast face of Telephone Hill.

City tax records date the Kodzoff House from 1896, with possession of the site passing among a number of early settlers. Names affiliated with the property between 1885 and 1895 include: French Pete Erussand, John Jackson, William Nelson, John McKinnon and John Malony.

In 1901, Lot 5 was owned and developed by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. The company provided terminal and business space for local professionals during its 30-year existence.

Lot 6 underwent property improvements during Richard Johnson's ownership from 1901 to 1914. By 1916 two "shacks" were recorded on the site. A succession of individuals owned the property from 1915 until Anita Grace Garnick-Kodzoff-Olsen, President of the Juneau Women's Igloo in 1949 and 1950, purchased the property in 1945 from Sam Feldon.

The polygonal, wood-frame building is located off the southern stairwell, a Juneau landmark, on Main Street. This Pioneer Bungalow is clad with asphalt composition siding with the exception of the wood-shingled south facade. Composition roofing covers the intersecting gable roofs, and a shed roof covers the glassed-in porch on the front facade. Extended eaves with boxed cornices are visible. The building stands two stories high on its east facade; the opposite side isl½ stories.

A variety of windows appear on the building: fixed-pane, multi-lite, double-hung sash and diamond-shaped. Soon after the Kodzoff purchase in 1945, the sun porch on the north facade was converted to an enclosed entry. Original doors remain on the east and west facades. The duplex's lower level is the poured concrete partial basement. The wooden apartment door is comprised of a small, leaded-glass window with multi-lites.
