Brick by Brick: Reclaiming Anchorage’s Past | Anchorage News

Anchorage is returning thousands of historic personalized bricks from Town Square Park—each engraved with names, dates, and messages from the ’90s fundraising effort—to their original owners. It’s a nostalgic scavenger hunt: dig through online photo albums to locate your brick’s spot, then claim it from designated pick-up days at 2839 Mountain View Drive. For many, like Mark Walatka and Margaret Henry, these bricks connect them to ancestors who helped shape Alaska’s past. About 1,700 bricks are lost or too damaged to return. The pickup runs through October 10th—don’t miss your chance to reclaim a piece of personal history embedded in the city.
