No, it is not THE Louvre. It is the ‘Temporary Louvre,’ a saloon in Juneau during the Alaska Gold Rush. Of historical interest, see what the little boy on the left has in his hands? It’s a toy wheel. In those days – before parents could afford a bicycle – children were given a wheel and stick to keep it rolling down the street. If you will look on the upper right-hand side of the photograph, you will see houses built on a steep slope. When the Alaska Gold Rush started in Juneau, the mountainside feel straight into the Gastineau Channel. Then, ore cart load by ore cart load, the overburden from the mines was dumped directly into the Channel. Then buildings erupted from the dumped overburden and thus was the modern city of Juneau built. Juneau is also incredibly wet and the street timbers you see in the photograph were necessary keep rainwater from pooling in front of the tavern. I particularly like the advertisement for Lager Beer – as if an advertisement was needed.
