Anchorage Alaska, which had been founded in 1915, was incorporated.

Anchorage was, and is, as the name indicates a port city.  And today its a large one, much like any other large port city, all of which have a certain universal character.  It was also, however, right from the onset a railhead, which made it all the more important.

I'm not sure what function this classically styled Alaska Railroad building serves, but it is not the depot.  It does have the appearance of one, however.
