Notes
  • Significance: One of the few stone buildings in Alaska, the building is an expression of Skagway's new sense of permanence, maturity, and civic pride in the years immediately following the Klondike Gold Rush. Its history illustrates the important role of missionaries who established the institutions of early town life in the federal territory of Alaska. Founded by Methodist Episcopal Reverend James J. Walter in 1899, McCabe College was the first school in Alaska to offer a college-preparatory high-school curriculum. The arrival of municipally-supported public education in Alaska quickly caused the private McCabe College to fold. The building has been in public ownership since 1901, serving as an U.S. district courthouse and jail, city hall, and museum.
