PIONEERS' HOME
GETS A PRESENT.
The Pioneers' Home at Sitka re-j
■eived a valuable Fhrlstmas present:
in ihe form nf additional lands and
piarters. says tin* Juneau Kmplrc. Oil
December 23 A lj. Shoup. superinten
dent of Ihe Institution, acting as agenl 1
for the Governor of Alaska, gave a re- j.
icipt to 11 \. t’royvcll, custodian of the
I' S naval depot at Sitka for the'
building and grounds last used as a I.
naval hospital.
The lot or parcel of ground Is SO x 1
inn feet, adjoining the present home 1
and the building is 55 x 10 feet. The -
building has eight rooms and two
hathn. The vacant land Is suitable for
gardening and will be prized by the
inmates of the Home for that use. The!
building Is In bad repair, according
to Superintendent Shoup but can be
fixed up and used advantageously.
The building has great historic value |
It is a log structure and was construct
ed about 70 years ago daring the Rue
sian occupation and was formerly the;
Governor's house. The building has
since been covered with weather board- j
ing. Later it was acquired by the
naval department and converted into
a hospital. It hits not been in use
since the discontinuance of the naval
station at Sitka,
The TT. S. forestry service of Alaska
wanted the building and made appli
cation for it. The matter was referred
to Gov. .T. F. A. Strong by the secretary
of Hie interion. Governor Strong ad
vised that the building could not be
pul to better use than to make it a
part of the Pioneers' Home which was
in great need of more aceoinmodiations.
Governor Strong is much pleased that
the building has been acquired for the
Home.—Ex.
