I Googled picture #25. The entire town of Whittier, Alaska lives under one roof. Here are some information you might need to know.

"This is the abandoned building where people lived back when this town was still a military base. This building was once the largest building in the state of Alaska — now it is abandoned."

"There is a slight misconception about this town. Not everyone lives in the same building. I'd say about 80% do, but there are also some apartments separate from the main building. Also, while there is a grocery store inside the building, there is a bigger store in the town, about the size of the inside of a gas station. I didn't get any pics, unfortunately."
