State Office Building

  • Address: 4th and Calhoun sts., Juneau, AK | Map It

Fodor's Review:

The building's sprawling eighth-floor patio, which faces Gastineau Channel and Douglas Island, is a popular lunch destination for state workers and assorted residents. On most Fridays at noon, concerts inside the four-story atrium feature a grand old theater pipe organ, a veteran of the silent-movie era. Also here is the historic old witch totem pole, the Alaska State Library, with a fine collection of historical photos, plus computers with public Internet access. If you're having trouble finding the building, just ask for directions to the "S.O.B."—the locals are fond of acronyms.
