Spenard Windmill Gets Restoration | Anchorage News

The legendary Spenard windmill — a beloved local icon since Chilkoot Charlie’s opened in 1970 — has been dismantled for much-needed restoration. Once a liquor store promo piece from the ‘60s and later owned by pizza legend Mafia Mike, the 60-foot structure is now offsite with plans to upgrade its lights and repair its base. The bar’s general manager confirms it’s a big, costly project requiring community fundraising — but this isn’t just about fixing metal and wood; it’s about preserving a symbol of neighborhood history. Expect creative, memorable fundraisers to bring this vibe-boosting landmark back stronger than ever.
