Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada – Part 1, Historic Buildings

I have visited Dawson City twice, in 2007 and 2014, on tours by John Hall’s Alaska. Both tours afforded adequate time for guided coach trips and just strolling around the city. I have previously posted sets about the Dredge No. 4 (https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-641187-1.html) and St. Mary’s Catholic Church (https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-657684-1.html), but I thought perhaps folks here might like to see a more varied collection of photographs of that very interesting and history city. I am including shots from both the 2007 and 2014 visits. Dawson City is famous as the residence of 2 famous authors—Robert Service and Jack London—and there are historic sites about both.

This set is in 2 Parts: Part 1 is of the major structures in good repair, and Part 2 is of street scenes and decrepit buildings.

Well, Alaska is still our wild frontier, I guess.
