The Juneau Federal Building and Post Office
The building was officially re-named on May 13, 1999 as the Hurff A. Saunders Federal Building after the man who was the federal government’s civil engineer in charge of construction. Ground breaking ceremonies were held July 8, 1963 at the site of the former Fireman’s Park baseball field with completion of the building in 1966. The view is from the 8th Level Plaza of the State Office Building with Gastineau Channel and Douglas Island in the background.
