'''Kimball's Store''', also known as '''Kimball Building''', was a historic retail establishment at 500 and 504 West 5th Avenue in downtown [[Anchorage, Alaska]]. The [[dry goods]] store operated at the same site from 1915 to 2002, and its two-story wood-frame building is the only commercial building to survive at its original location from the period of Anchorage's founding. The store was established by Irving L. Kimball, who had been trading in Arctic communities of Alaska since 1897, and was operated afterward by his daughter until her death in 2002.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=86001901}}|title=NRHP nomination for Kimball's Store|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2014-12-23}}</ref><ref name=store_closing>{{cite news|url=http://juneauempire.com/stories/120302/sta_storecloses.shtml|title=Anchorage landmark store closes after 87 years of operation|newspaper=Juneau Empire|date=2002-12-03|accessdate=2014-12-23|archive-date=December 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224045731/http://juneauempire.com/stories/120302/sta_storecloses.shtml|url-status=dead}}</ref>
