Rainey's Cabin, also known as the Rainey/Skarland Cabin is a historic log cabin on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in College, Alaska. It is a single-story three-room log structure, with a massive central stone fireplace. The cabin was built in 1939 by Froelich Rainey, the first chairman of the university's anthropology department. The cabin for many years played a significant role as a social center of the university, and was where Rainey hosted a number of pioneering archaeologists and anthropologists, including J. Louis Giddings and Frederica de Laguna. The cabin was later occupied by Ivar Skarland, who succeeded to Rainey's chair and continued his social practices.[2] The university uses the cabin as housing for anthropology and archaeology professors and students.[3]
