This was the first bank to operate in Dawson, starting business in a tent in 1897. Today, the only bank in Dawson is a CIBC, across the street on 2nd avenue.

This hotel has a restaurant serving ‘Chinese’ and ‘Canadian’ food until 1AM.

The Masonic lodge (I think this is such a pretty building!)

Canada’s oldest casino. Gertie’s is a non-profit organization, so all house winnings return to the community. There are three cancan shows a night. A visit here will take you right back to the gold rush era!

The Dawson rec centre. This is a modern building built in the same style as gold rush buildings, with a false front.

This warehouse was used to store goods that would be distributed to Dawsonites during the months the city was cut off from the outside world. I am awed that this structure has survived from the gold rush. What treasures it must have held for those trapped in Dawson during the 1897 to 1898 winter, and later ones, too!
