The highlight of this big downtown building is not the exterior, but rather the large atrium, which has great views of Douglas Island and a 1920’s pipe organ that was used in movie theaters before being moved here in 1976. Today it’s played every Friday at noon. Off the lobby, you’ll find historic photos and displays from the state library, which is located on the eighth floor. The 11th floor houses the Alaska Permanent Fund Division, where workers manage and distribute funds for the annual “oil dividend” check for state residents.
