Moscow Villa Hut located in the Victorian Alps in Australia was built by Mr Bill Ah Chow in 1941. Bill Ah Chow was an enthusiast for the area, having passed through as a cattleman earlier. He later worked for many years for the Foresty Commission. He built the hut as a summer home, and used it often when he was a fire tower spotter from a nearby hill during the Australian bushfire season (usually November to March).

The hut was completed the same day that the Battle of Moscow was being fought in World War II, but visitors to the hut at the time thought that name was not politic, so he told them it stood for "My own Summer Cottage Officially Welcome Visitors Inside Light Luncheon Available".

As of 2004 the Hut was still being maintained by the family of Bill Ah Chow and friends.
