Window made of bottles in an Alaska bush cabin

• In remote parts of Alaska, bush cabins were built quickly from local materials. With no window panes available, bottles were packed into window frames to allow light to enter. In this case, quart sealers and beverage bottles were packed into clay and moss in six rows of five bottles, open to the interior of the cabin. This window is in a replica cabin located near the Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks, Alaska
