Regarding The MacKinnon Apartments. Excerpt from the National
this page online
Opened in 1925, the MacKinnon Apartments provided modern housing in Alaska's capital and largest city. The building is representative of the size and scale of the buildings constructed during the boom that occurred in Juneau during the 1920s. The period between World Wars I and II, 1921 to 1939, has been defined as Juneau's Peak Gold Mining Era. During that period, the town was the center for the territorial government, for the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company's huge hard rock operations, for salmon and halibut commercial fishermen, and for supplying southeast Alaska.
