The Wireless Station is a historic government telecommunications facility at East Manor and Boyd Streets in Anchorage, Alaska. The property includes three buildings (built in 1917, 1934, and 1949) that were used to maintain radio communications in the Anchorage area, with ships at sea, and as a communications link to Seattle, Washington as part of military WAMCATS telecommunications system. The three buildings are single-story frame structures with clapboard siding. The original 1917 building has a cupola, that when illuminated, originally served as a beacon for ships seeking to reach the Anchorage port. The station saw active service until the early 1950s, and have stood vacant since the 1990s.
The station complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
