Images of the Site and City:
The main piece of the site is located at the 3 cabins in the middle of the photo above. These cabins are "historic" in nature and can either be retained/incorporated to your building on site, or relocated.
The one storey white building to the left of the cabins may also be looked at for inclusion into the available site area if required.
More distant views to the site from across the Yukon River.w
The gold and lbue building is a civic comples that sits across the site from the project area.w
