Back to the Fifties : More Ketchikan Photos by Paulu Saari
Title:
100-102 Main Street, September 1953.
Photographer:
Paulu T. Saari
Description:
The Alaska Hotel occupied the upper floors of this building, and the Automotive Parts and Equipment Co. occupied the street level.

In the 1950s, Mill Street was a narrow, plank street beginning at the dock and ending at Main Street. Around 1970, Mill Street was widened and extended to Stedman Street. The Alaska Hotel building was demolished at that time.

The low, dark building at right was used as the Ketchikan Spruce Mill guard shack, located next to the mill's main gate.
