Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with red and yellow corner trim). The frame is labeled "View from Apt 9—67" in handwriting. The image shows an aerial view of the waterfront and Indian Village areas of downtown Juneau. The foreground is occupied by an expanse of low rooftops, probably private residences, and the Federal Building which towers over all others at right. A window frame can also be discerned, suggesting that the image was captured from inside. In the middling area, the Gastineau Channel separates the foreground from the background, made up of several fog—enshrouded peaks on Douglas Island. Power lines cut through the top of the image just outside the immediate window frame. The text "2 FEB 68P2" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper edge, possibly signifying date or series of development.
