Sitka Residence Of Former
Nomeite Attracts Visitors
With Museum And View
On the shore of the o'cean at
Sitka is a street which trails up
- the hill to the residence of Edna
and George Beacom. Or, if one
prefers, a climb of “57 steps” on
three levels brings one to the same
place, a beautiful home with a
sweeping view of the Pacific and
a private museum below with tea
room for guests.
Included in the Beacom exhibit,
mainly Eskimo relics, are furs,
drawings, paintings, photographs,
ivory carvings, tools, clothing,
weapons used for hunting, uten
sils, masks, and many other mis
celaneous itms.
The museum is in the form of a
large, comfortable lounge, with
light refreshments served for peo
ple who visit the museum while
boats are in port, or by special ar
rangement, for a nominal sum.
The property is part of the for
mer site of the Brady Estate on
which Gov. John G. Brady lived
when Sitka was the territorial
capital, and the last governor to
reside there. His son, Sheldon
Jackson Brady, named for his
father’s friend, Dr. Sheldon Jack
son, pioneer educator and mission
ary in Alaska, made a recent trip
to Sitka, where he was bom. He
left with his parents for Juneau
when he was 14 years of age, and
is now a prominent engineer and
real estate dealer in Paterson, N.J.
A brother, Hugh Brady, is a Seat
tle broker.
As chairman for the 1953 Alas
ka Day Festival, George Beacom
proved himself to be an energetic,
enthusiastic and efficient leader
with the fine teamwork of the en
tire community. If there were
“slip-ups” in the program, no one
knew about them, for the Festival
brought out more than 1,000 peo
ple to participate in the festivities
which young and old thoroughly
enjoyed. Sitkans are already lay
ing plans for 1967, when the Cen
tennial ALASKA DAY will be
celebrated.
When, in old motion pictures,
the spokes of a wheel on a moving
vehicle seemed to be standing
still or revolving backward, it
was the result of coordination of
the motion of the spokes with the
24-pictures-a-second speed of the
film.
