Marie Bergmann and Early History of the Hotel

The hotel was constructed by Marie E. Bergmann to cater to local miners. According to a biography of the property and Ms. Bergmann maintained by the National Register of Historic Places, Ms. Bergmann settled in the Juneau area in 1896, after the death of her husband in Seattle.

A pioneer in pre-statehood Alaska, Bergmann was an established name in the Juneau hotel business of the period. Marie Bergmann began her professional life in Juneau by working in the hotel industry as well as nursing. Ms. Bergmann originally envisioned a larger, more opulent hotel—but without additional investors and financing she was forced to scale back her plans. The grand opening of the hotel occurred on December 16, 1913. Marie Bergmann died in 1918 of a reported brain hemorrhage. [2] [3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [1]

Modern role

Although listed as a hotel, the building served primarily as miners housing, with most occupants renting rooms by the week or month. Rooms in the Bergmann did not contain kitchens, although all contained sinks. Restroom, shower and laundry facilities were shared. There are three toilets and three shower facilities per floor. Laundry and microwave facilities are on each floor. The hotel has been owned since 2001 by Camilla Barrett and James M. Barrett esq.(until 2017 for health reasons). [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Juneau Downtown Historic District</span> Historic district in Alaska, United States

The Juneau Downtown Historic District encompasses the historic commercial heart of the city of Juneau, Alaska. It extends along South Franklin Street, from the cruise terminal in the south to Second Street in the north, and westward along Second and Front Streets to Main Street. This area was the center of Juneau's economic activity from its founding in 1880 as a gold mining camp, through its growth into an urbanized area in the early 20th century, including its eventual designation as the territorial capital in 1906. In the early days of the gold mining camp business was centered in the area bounded by Front, Main and South Franklin, with maritime activities in particular eventually extending further south along the shore of the Gastineau Channel by making land using mine tailings. The early buildings have relatively utilitarian architecture, while those of the early 20th century are somewhat more ornate, with Late Victorian details. Notable buildings from this period include the Alaska Steam Laundry and the Valentine Building.
