Notes:
The Masons offered their building to the city in 2005 as a possible location for the Juneau—Douglas City Museum, either as an additional facility or as an alternate location. The building has similar problems to the current building the JDCM is housed in, particularly the ventilation and parking issues, so the offer was declined. The Masons building has been for sale for several years in the early 2000's and also houses Juneau Dance Unlimited.
