Description: Vintage Photo Spenard Anchorage Alaska From Fire Department Tower Birds Eye View Original vintage photo with handwritten description on back side . . . 5 3/8" x 3 1/2" This is more recent than the 1933 referenced, the vehicles indicate the age . . . From the web: The flashy, somewhat shady, self-promoting Joseph “Joe” Spenard was one of the most colorful “characters” who became identified with Anchorage from its beginnings as a railroad construction camp until his death in 1934. He is the namesake of the present-day Spenard neighborhood of midtown Anchorage. It was the name of a municipally-owned lake and full-fledged recreation site with a roadhouse, boating, and bathing facilities. The floatplane base at Lake Hood-Lake Spenard has been acknowledged as the busiest operation of its kind in the world. During the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline (1969-1977), Spenard was one of the “red light districts” in the Anchorage area. Since the early 1980s, the Municipality of Anchorage has worked with the adjacent residential neighborhood to revitalize the area from a seamy area into a hipster neighborhood. Spenard Road, the commercial heart of Spenard, connects the neighborhood to downtown Anchorage. Condition: Very good condition . . . as referenced in the note on back, there is a small light “x” mark on the front at the skyline level on a distant building . . .
