Series 1-4 were intended to portray Fairbanks waterfront as well as the entire town. This is the upper end, water flowing from left to right. Town extends a trifle above this; the river makes a sharp bend and flows right behind the three story building at the left and then along the edge of timber. The ladder build on a couple of trees was for the purpose of photographing the town before the Hospital was erected from top of which these photos are taken; the largest hotel before the fire stood on the vacant lot adjoining “Vachons”.
