The Tolovana Roadhouse is a historic roadhouse in the Yukon-Koyukuk borough of Alaska. It is located near the confluence of the Tanana and Tolovana Rivers near Nenana, Alaska. Four buildings survive from what was once a more extensive complex of buildings. The extant roadhouse was built in 1924, after both a 1901 roadhouse and 1921 trading post were destroyed by fire. The other three buildings that were in good condition in 1988 included a storage building, outhouse, and power plant; seven other structures were then deemed to be in a state of collapse, while three other documented buildings had been washed away by the erosive force of the Tanana River.[2]
