Tidelands
Once primarily beach lands, the tidelands neighborhood was
filled with waste rock of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mine. The area is bounded by the
Gastineau Channel on the east, Willoughby Avenue on the north and west, and Gold Creek on
the south. The only historic building identified in the neighborhood is the Pacific
Coastal Steamship Company which is commonly referred to as Merchant’s Wharf. No other
historic buildings remain in the neighborhood.
