The Cooper Landing Post Office is a historic building located in the town of Cooper Landing, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. Cooper Landing was established after prospector Joseph Cooper discovered gold in the 1880s where the Kenai River meets Kenai Lake.[2] The chalet-style building was built c. 1910-20 as a simple log cabin, and was enlarged in the 1920s and 1930s, probably not acquiring its distinctive facade until the 1930s. Its facade is adorned with hunting trophies such as caribou and moose antlers.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
