Summary
editDescription1964 Alaska Quake Penney Bldg.jpg |
English: Two artifacts of the history of Anchorage, Alaska are found in this photo taken following the 1964 Alaska earthquake. In the foreground is the original Penney Building in Anchorage. Built in 1962 as a five-story structure, containing nearly 100,000 square feet. The building collapsed in the shaking, centered around its northeast corner and its north and east walls. The building was torn down to its foundation, and in its place was built a three-story building on a larger footprint on the same site. Directly across Fifth Avenue is the Club Rendezvous. The building shows evidence of slight damage, but is still functional. The building burned down in 1970, and despite its prime location in Anchorage's central business district, nothing was ever built on the lot to replace it. In recent years, it has been used as an outdoor seating area for a salmon bake restaurant. UPDATE: I think I snapped a few photos on this corner last summer. The salmon bake was gone. A tent retailer set up shop on the lot where the Rendezvous stood.RadioKAOS (talk) 17:47, 24 April 2014 (UTC) |
