These photographs, taken in 1914 at Chatanika, Alaska, show a town that had once been a booming suburb of Fairbanks. By the time these photographs were taken, Chatanika had lost its railway service and closed the post office as the residents headed for more prosperous areas. Looks like they still had a store, the Grand Hotel and other businesses trying to survive in this small area — wonder what the population was of Chatanika in 1914.
