Notes:
Acquired by Juneau Centennial Committee. The former U.S. Territorial Courthouse built between 1901 and 1904 in Juneau to replace the 1st Juneau Federal Courthouse which was built in 1892 and burned in 1898. In later years the original central tower of the second courthouse was removed and the wood frame building was remodeled to be used as the Juneau State Jail. The Courthouse was demolished in the late 1960's to make way for the new State Office Building.
