Kirsch's Place, now the Fireweed Station Inn, is a historic traveler accommodation near Talkeetna, Alaska. It is located about 12 miles (19 km) south of Talkeetna, roughly 200 feet (61 m) east of mile 215.3 of the Alaska Railroad, a place known as Sunshine Siding. It is a 1-1/2 story log structure, built in 1946 by John Kirsch as a residence and guest lodge. Kirsch operated the lodge until his death in 1959. The lodge is a rare survivor of a post-World War II rural building boom, which was later eclipsed as roads and settlement in the area became more prevalent.[2]
The lodge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[2]
