While many of the buildings in downtown Juneau celebrate their mining-era history with artifacts and well-preserved décor, others like the J.J. Stocker Building remain silent and even misleading. Notice the façade reads 1935. That’s when the third floor was added. The original building was constructed in 1891, just about a decade after a mining camp was declared to be a town called Juneau. When the Louvre Theater burnt, it was rebuilt into this green, wooden storefront in 1906. I am not sure who the shady looking character is in the window.
