Van Gilder Hotel
The Van Gilder Hotel is a historic multipurpose commercial and civic building at 307 Adams Street in Seward, Alaska, United States.
==Construction==
The building was originally constructed as an office by E.L. Van Gilder of Kellogg, Idaho, who decided to invest in the Alaska Territory. Van Gilder purchased the property adjacent to the Seward bank for $4,000 in February 1916. He obtained supplies in Idaho, and then returned to Seward via the steamer ''Evans'' with his wife and daughter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of the Van Gilder Hotel )〕 Construction for the two-story structure with an excavated basement began in May 1916. In addition to offices, the building would have meeting halls for local organizations. During construction, Van Gilder decided to add a third story to the building. Extra construction costs and a poor economy forced Van Gilder to sell the building shortly after it was completed. The new building was purchased by Charles Brown, a partner in the Brown & Hawkins Store in Seward.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Van Gilder Hotel )〕
The Van Gilders planned to return to the states and travelled to Ketchikan, Alaska via boat. While in the town waiting for the boat to leave, Van Gilder and his wife Sarah were both offered jobs. They stayed for a year and earned money to invest in business in St. Helens, Oregon.〔
