Gastineau Peak on Mt. Roberts, a Steam Power Plant, and a Dock
Just left of center is Gastineau Peak (3,666 ft.). The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co. (AJ) Auxiliary Steam Power Plant built in A.D. 1916 is at the lower left. Along the shore of Gastineau Channel at the Juneau harbor is the South Franklin (cruise ship) Dock built at the site of the AJ Wharf. The low building along the shore, also with a red roof, is the Miners Cove retail building also built on the site of the AJ Wharf.
