Oscar Gill House (HD) Oscar Gill was a local statesman who played a
key role in Alaska gaining statehood, but his house achieved fame
all on its own. Gill was Anchorage’s mayor during Prohibition, when
bootlegging was big business. Gill denied any involvement himself,
but his house clearly acted as someone’s portal for smuggling
booze. Window sills could be jerry rigged to send bottles up
through the walls and between the studs. Today you can still see
pieces of broken bottles inside the walls.
