Dawson City - Front Street

Along Front Street in Dawson City several buildings dating from the time of the gold-rush are still standing. The most notable are the Federal Building, once the seat of government before it was moved to Whitehorse, the Old Post Office of 1901, Madame Tremblay's shop complete with articles of clothing like those worn by the gold-seekers, the Canadian Bank of Commerce, where gold was once melted down, and the 1922 paddle-steamer S.S. "Keno" - now a museum - the last of over 200 "sternwheelers" which plied on the Yukon between Dawson City and Whitehorse until the end of the 1850s.
