Photograph of Juneau Cold Storage Co., Inc. and surrounding dockside buildings, as viewed from the West's ship docked in Juneau, Alaska. The scene is viewed from an elevated perspective. In the foreground, the side of the ship stretches vertically along the right edge. Below the ship, a dock lined by a couple of warehouses stretches back at right. To the left of the rightmost building, a dilapidated dock stretches towards the lower left corner. Behind the dilapidated dock at left, piles of lumber sit in front of the "Columbia Lumber Co." building. Tucked behind and between these buildings stands "JUNEAU CO[L]D STORAGE CO. INC. PUBLIC STORAGE," left-of-center. A "Coca-Cola" sign stands on the near corner of the rooftop. Behind all the buildings, a steep, tree-covered hillside rises from right to left. A large, gold mine building stands in tiers on the hillside's slope, partially obscured by fog.
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.
