Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a large, gold mine building standing on a hillside in Juneau, Alaska. The photograph appears to tilt downward to the left. A sliver of a ship is visible in the lower right corner. Rigging stretches from it and up towards center. Beyond the boat, the waters of Gastineau Channel stretch across the mid-ground. It is lined by Juneau's shore. Wharfs and buildings stand across the shore. Steam or smoke billows at far right. At center and up a slope, a large, gold mine building is built into the side of the hill. It is viewed at an angle from the front. The building is tiered up the hillside. Long, narrow passageways stretch from the uppermost level and out wide to each side. The tree-covered hill it sits upon rises behind it. Text from negative sleeve: 2206.
