The Lauritsen Cabin is a historic miner's cabin in the Chugach Mountains of the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska. It is located a short way east of mile 48 of the Seward Highway, at the confluence of Mill and Canyon Creeks. It is built of hand-hewn logs fitted tightly with dovetail notches, and features a ridge pole hewn in a curve to provide for a hip-shaped roof. The building measures about 27 by 13 feet (8.2 m × 4.0 m). The cabin was built in 1896, and may have been among the first cabins built in the gold rush that swept the area in the late 19th century.[2]
The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
