A man is standing in the doorway of the Malamute Saloon, holding a bottle in his hand. It is open now after Prohibition, which ended in 1933. The building is a replica in plaster of the log cabin Malamute Saloon near Fairbanks, Alaska, made famous in a poem by Robert W. Service. The address in the photo is 1916-1918 of an unknown street. A sign above the door indicates real food, good drinks and entertainment is available, plus tables for ladies. The saloon is open from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. and has no cover charge.
