The strong skyline of “The Sleeping Lady,” Mount Susitna, at the edge of the Alaska Range and an amazing purple-hued summer atmosphere serve as the backdrop in this view of the Emard Salmon Cannery on the bank of Ship Creek, Anchorage. This early building was among the town’s first, chartered in 1915. Laurence made his semi-permanent residence in the Anchorage Hotel, built in 1916 in what is now downtown Anchorage, on the creek’s southern bank.
