History Community History and Character
Geography
How Seward Seward's destiny as an ice free port and the hub of commerce and
Was Founded transportation began as long as two million years ago with the advent
1111111111..... of the Pleistocene Epoch.
The Seward side of the Kenai Peninsula provides some of
the best evidence of Pleistocene glacial activity. Most of the
valleys are U-Shaped with steep sides and a broad flat
bottom. River cut valleys tend to be V-shaped. The valley in
which Seward is situated was formed by a main valley
glacier.
From several miles north of its head to the mouth of
Resurrection Bay, a river of ice hundreds of feet thick
flowed south. To get an idea of how far it filled this valley,
note the terrace it formed halfway up the side of Mount
Marathon. Then look across the valley and pick out the
highest peak, Mount Alice the U-shaped valley just
below Mount Alice is hanging above the main valley floor.
The base of the ice was not at today's shoreline. Judging
from the soundings in Resurrection Bay, the ice scored up
to 900 feet below current sea level.---All the ground you
walk on in the Seward area has in some way been shaped
by glacial activity. (Testarmata)
Viewed from across Resurrection Bay or from the air it is easy to see
the alluvial fan caused by the abrupt change in gradient of a loaded
stream which once flowed out of what is now known as Lowell Canyon
and the flood plain and delta at the mouth of Resurrection River.
Though it looks to be barren soil, in fact this age old alluvial fan was
once densely covered with coniferous forest. (Ross)
Early Native Influence
Legend and history confirm that humans used this area for many
centuries. In prehistoric and early historic times, the bays around
Seward sheltered Unixkugmiut settlements. (Barry). Nearly all of
these settlements were abandoned by the 1880 census, although a
village called Yalik, in Yalik Bay south of Seward was inhabited by 32
people in 1880. It was abandoned by the 1890 census. (Barry) Several
significant indigenous camps or settlements survive along the coast. In
1993 archeological surveys in Kenai Fjords National Park reconfirmed
the presence of these and uncovered several new sites used by both
prehistoric and early historic man. (Kenai Fjords National Park)

Explorations and Settlement
Unlike other countries who came north largely to chart and explore the
vast new territory, the Russians came to Alaska to explore and to
establish firm claim to the land by building permanent settlements.
Grigor Shelikhov, a Siberian merchant, built the first Russian
settlement on Kodiak in 1784. Shelikhov hired Alexander Baranov and
in 1792 ordered the building of ships in the new colony. Baranov
entered the inlet he chose for the shipbuilding site on Easter Sunday,
1793 and named it "Voskrensenskaya Gavan," - Resurrection Bay.
Storehouses, living quarters, and a palisade were constructed
somewhere in the Bay area. The PHOENIX, the first Russian ship built
in what was to become America, was launched in August, 1794. (Barry
I: 17-19) No confirmed artifacts from this historic shipbuilding site in
Resurrection Bay have been found to date.
Captains Portlock and Dixon, of the British Royal Navy, charted
portions of Prince William Sound in 1786 and 1787. Portlock's chart
gave the name "Port Andrews" to the site now known as Resurrection
Bay. (Barry I: 15)
A small party of the United States Geological Society (USGS) which
was exploring Alaska from Cook Inlet northward to discover a route
from tidewater to the Tanana River, landed at Resurrection Bay on May
30, 1898. It was lead by Lt. H.G. Learnard. Also in the party were Mr.
Bagg and Walter C. Mendenhall of the USGS. One of the routes to the
Turnagain Arm gold fields at Sunrise and Hope, founded in 1895, began
at the head of Resurrection Bay.
Several results of this 1898-1899 exploration were significant for
Seward's future. This party mapped the trail from Resurrection Bay to
Turnagain Arm and the Crow Creek to Eagle River route. The reports
influenced the development of the railroad route from Resurrection Bay
to the head of Turnagain Arm and along the north side of the Arm, and
also lead to the establishment of the Iditarod dog team trail.
The official reports also mention the agricultural possibilities of the
Matanuska Valley and the extensive and valuable Matanuska coal fields.
These findings, together with the mining activities at Hope and Sunrise
encouraged promoter John Ballaine to organize the first railroad out of
Seward. (Barry 1986)
Although the founding of Seward is dated from the August 28, 1903
landing party headed by the Ballaine brothers, the founders of the
Alaska Central Railway, there were early settlers prior to 1903. Mail
and supplies for the gold fields in the Hope-Sunrise area were landed
here as early as the 1890's. Later this included Nome and Iditarod.
Frank Lowell and his family settled on Resurrection Bay in 1884. Mrs.
Lowell, who was of Russian and Native extraction, and several children
and their spouses, had homes in what became part of the original
townsite. Frank Lowell decamped to Kodiak and remarried prior to the
coming of the Ballaines and the railroad. Nothing of Lowell homesite
remains, but sites such as Lowell Point, Lowell Canyon, Lowell Glacier,
Mt. Alice and Mt. Eva commemorate their place in Seward's history.
Seward's footprint was determined by a survey drawn up by C. M.
Anderson, Civil Engineer, and signed by Frank Ballaine on behalf of his
brother John Ballaine, founder of the Alaska Central Railway. The plan
laid out city blocks divided by wide streets and bisected by alleys as
neatly and precisely as a railroad surveyor could make them.

The original townsite proceeded from the waterfront to seven lots
beyond Monroe Street and from First Avenue at the foot of Mount
Marathon and Bear Mountain to the sea. There were 40 blocks and
1211 lots (some were truncated by the curve of the shoreline.) Each lot
within this townsite was 30' wide by 100' long. The street bordering the
south side of town was named Railway Avenue and each of the other
east-west streets were named for the first Presidents: Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. The North/South avenues
were named First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh
(now Ballaine Blvd).
Frank Ballaine dedicated the streets and avenues to public use,
reserving the right to construct and operate railways, telegraph and
telephone lines, gas and water mains, and tunnels or other excavations
on the streets. The plat was recorded on June 7, 1905 and with a few
exceptions continues to this day. (Barry 1986)
By the time the plat was recorded, Seward's earliest settlers, many of
whom had arrived on the steamer SANTA ANA in 1903, had built a
thriving town. Millionaire's Row, a series of larger homes on Third
Avenue, were built and occupied by Alaska Central Railway officials by
1905. Many of these early homes and apartments such as the Ballaine
House, Hale House, Cameron House, Holland House, Winter, Stewart
and Williams Houses and Harborview Apartments still stand in Seward
today.
Home Brew Alley, a collection of small houses on lower Second Avenue,
housed several of the early settlers. This area fell victim to urban
renewal after the 1964 earthquake and there are no extant buildings
from this unique area of town.
With the exception of Anchorage, which also began as a railroad
terminus, Seward is unique in Alaska for its conformation and compact
downtown business section. In many ways Seward resembles small
railroad towns in the rest of the United States rather than its sister
cities in Alaska which often have meandering streets and spread out
business sections.
Military and Government
The first attempt at city incorporation was an election held in May
1911, but the proponents failed to garner the two-thirds majority
needed. The incorporation was delayed until May of 1912 when Seward
residents voted 160 for and 31 against incorporation. (Barry 1986)
One of the reasons given for Seward's survival as a town
during the discouraging years between the first boom
accompanying the building of the Alaska Central Railway
and the excitement related to the beginning of the Alaska
Railroad was the stability of the town's institutions.
Unlike many early Alaskan settlements, Seward had a
planned layout and most of the amenities found in
Stateside towns of the same size. Legal procedures were
immediately available, a school system began during the
founding and grew with the town, and churches were
established, with permanent buildings to accommodate
them. (Barry 1986)
Seward developed some industries which helped it survive the hiatus
between the railroad activities. The largest source of jobs was the
2/13/2018,4:09 PM
http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
mining industry on the Kenai Peninsula. The transportation point for
travel into the interior began in Seward, and the town became the
headquarters for many who followed the various gold rushes. The
community also had an aggressive booster organization in the Seward
Commercial Club and an optimistic newspaper. (Barry 1986) The
Alaska Central Commission Building served as City Hall until it was
razed in 1964 and replaced by the current city hall building.
An early jail and magistrate's office was located at the corner of 3rd
and Adams but was moved to the rear of the fire hall in 1917 and into
the Harriman (Ray) Building in 1919 (the vault was used as a cell). In
1920 the jail was moved to the Commission Building, then into the fire
hall located on Third Avenue where the Tot Lot is now located. In 1948,
the firemen built a firehall at the present location next to the Civic
Center. This building burned, along with the Civic Center in 1962, and a
new one was built in 1963. When the new city hall was built in 1964
the jail was relocated to the basement where it remains.
Alaska was not much affected by the World War I era in terms of
Federal spending. (Alaska Historical Commission). However, the
decision in 1914 by the Federal Government to purchase the Alaska
Northern Railway and build the Alaska Railroad had a significant effect
on Seward. By 1916, 600 men were working out of Seward on the
railroad, and in 1917 this had increased to 888 men, creating a housing
shortage. (Barry 1993)
Polk's Directory for 1917-18 shows a population of 1500, a sharp rise
from previous surveys. Many of the workers were affiliated with the
Alaska Engineering Commission, the U.S. Government agency engaged
in the construction of the Alaska Railroad.
After the United States entered World War I, the armed forces drew off
people to work outside of Alaska. However, work continued on the
railroad and on September 10, 1918 the gap which existed between
Seward and Anchorage was closed, and three trains per week began
running between the two towns. The railroad headquarters moved to
Anchorage in 1917 taking higher ranking personnel and causing much
resentment in Seward. (Prince) All sectors of the economy suffered and
the population dropped. The 1920 census lists fewer than 700 people in
Seward. (Barry 1993) In 1930 train service to Seward was reduced to
one train per week. Economic doldrums continued throughout the
decade with declining population and no growth.
The imminence of a second world war made a significant impact on
Seward in July, 1941 when the Army stationed 171 officers and 3,278
enlisted men at Fort Raymond, an Army Post established just outside
the townsite limits. Fortifications, including a 6 inch "en barbette"
battery named Fort McGilvery, were built at Caines Head and several of
the islands south of Seward. Seward was ringed with 155 MM, and 75
MM gun emplacements, remnants of which still exist in various places
around the area. The airport was cleared and made ready for planes by
August 30 of 1941.
The initial encampment consisted of a vast array of tents. Later,
Quonset huts and wooden barracks were built. The 420th Coast
Artillery Corps soon joined the Army. They were located on Seventh
Avenue (now Ballaine Blvd.) between Jefferson and Monroe Streets.
One can only imagine the impact an Army of this size had on the small
city, as well as the financial benefits derived from the $6,641,495 in
construction costs of these defense units.
2/13/2018,4:09 PM
http://vvww.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
The entire camp and the gun emplacements were abruptly dismantled
in March, 1944. Some Quonset huts were converted to dwellings after
the war and are still occupied. Many of the Fort Raymond buildings
were bought by local people, moved, and converted to other uses. For
example, the Cedarside Apartments building on Third Avenue began its
life as a military barracks and the Methodist Church, which was
destroyed by fire in 1994, once served as the Chapel at Fort Raymond.
Remnants of Fort McGilvery still exist in the Caines Head State
Recreation Area south of Seward.
Commerce and Economic Development
The gold mining strikes at Sunrise and Hope on Turnagain Arm in
1893 turned into a gold rush in 1896. One of the routes to Turnagain
Arm started at Resurrection Bay. Other gold producing areas on the
Kenai Peninsula developed: Russian River, Palmer Creek, the Moose
Pass district, and Nuka Bay. Seward became the principal supply point
of the Kenai Peninsula mining operations. (Barry 1986)
Alfred Lowell and others located mining claims in and near Seward on
Tonsina Creek, Humpy Cove, Falls Creek, Sunny Bay, Thumb Cove, and
the head of Fourth of July Creek. These unprofitable mines were soon
abandoned, leaving little in the way of buildings or other indications of
their existence.
While no coal deposits were found in the Seward area, it was the coal
fields located in the interior that lead Ballaine to believe that a railroad
was economically feasible and ultimately led to the founding of Seward
as a debarkation point for coal from the northern fields. The withdrawal
of development and mineral rights of these coal fields by the Federal
Government in 1906 led to the bankruptcy of the railroad and the
cessation of railroad construction. Today that interior coal is moved by
rail and shipped to overseas markets.
Fur trade in the area was limited. After Frank Lowell settled on
Resurrection Bay in 1884 a ship would come in once a year to pick up
furs, perhaps obtained from pelagic hunters who sought otter and other
sea mammals, and to leave supplies. (Barry 1986)
While fur hunting was not a major part of Seward's economy, by 1923
Seward functioned as headquarters for outfitters and guides on the
Kenai Peninsula and Fox Island was the site of a fox farm. Fox Island
was also the home of noted New York artist and book illustrator,
Rockwell Kent and his son during the winter of 1918-1919. Kent's book,
Wilderness (1920), was written about his life on Fox Island.
With the establishment of dairy herding in 1904, Seward residents
were supplied with fresh milk as early as 1904. In 1915, the Seward
Dairy was established at Mile 3 (the McPherson Homestead) by
Adelman and Quilty. Mr. Adelman, later sole owner, moved the
business to what is now called Dairy Hill, formerly Chamberlain Hill
(Barry 1986). Purchased in 1924 by Henry Leirer, the Dairy operated
until 1956. The present residence was built in 1929 and is still occupied
by the Leirer family.
The fisheries industry began when San Juan Fisheries and Canning
Company established the first cold storage plant in Seward in 1917. It
was located offshore on pilings between Monroe and Van Buren Streets
as was the subsequent salmon saltery, halibut processing plant, and
salmon cannery. Remains of the pilings are still visible. (Williams)
S
2/13/2018,4:09 PM
http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
The Halibut Producers Co-Op (now Seward Fisheries-Icicle Seafoods)
was the first business to rebuild in Seward after the 1964 earthquake,
following complete destruction of the original processing plant on the
waterfront. At one time it was the nation's largest halibut processor. It
is still in operation and processes salmon, halibut, cod, and crab in
season. This operation has been expanded several times and has an
active dock area.
Since the townsite and the surrounding area had an abundant timber
growth of spruce and hemlock, cottonwood, birch and alder (much used
to smoke fish) small scale logging was part of Seward's industrial
development from its founding. Sawmill operations were opened at Mile
3-1/2 and logging was opened up in 1923 at several sites around the
Bay, at Fourth of July Creek, and at Bear Lake. A sawmill operated at
Bear Lake by the Tressler Brothers until 1973 when it was acquired by
Louisiana Pacific and was moved and enlarged. It closed and left
Seward in the 1970's.
President Theodore Roosevelt established the Chugach National Forest
on July 23, 1907. Today it is one of the oldest national forests in
America. The original boundaries included what is now Anchorage all
the way to, and including, Kodiak. It is currently the second largest
national forest in the country. (Allen)
Tourism was a part of the economy even before there was a town of
Seward. Steamships landed passengers and freight at the head of the
ice free bay and from there they headed north to the gold fields by
horse, dog team or on foot. As the work on the railroad progressed,
more traffic was generated and early Seward boasted the Coleman
House, Hotel McNeiley, Seward Hotel, Hotel Overland and others. The
Van Gilder, built in 1916 as an office building and meeting rooms, was
converted to a hotel in 1921. Only the Van Gilder survives today as the
others were victims of fires.
With the creation of the Kenai Fjords National Monument by President
Carter in 1978, tourism began to occupy an important place in
Seward's economy. It became a national park in 1980 and visitation
has since grown to 170,000 visitors in 1993. (U.S. National Park
Service). There are numerous fishing charter boats, tour boats, buses
and cruise ships all catering to the visitor industry. This trend is
expected to increase with cruise ship dockings growing each year.
Numerous bed and breakfast operations have joined the hotels and
motels and new restaurants have opened each year.
Development of the small boat harbor waterfront between Third and
Fourth Avenues, outside the original townsite, has resulted in a second
commercial district with restaurants, motel, art gallery, shops,
charter/tour boat operations, etc. Several of the businesses are housed
in relatively small buildings designed only for summer use. Many of the
businesses, even in more substantial buildings, close for the winter.
Commerce in the boat harbor is particularly busy in the summer tourist
months. The U.S. National Park Service has established the
headquarters for Kenai Fjords National Park in the boat harbor area.
General Commerce began in Seward even before the town plat was
recorded in 1905. By October, 1904 there were over 40 businesses
established in town. These included two barbershops, a dairy and a
delivery service, three restaurants, four saloons, and three hardware
and furniture stores.

business in the state still run by the same family, is still housed in the
original building. The Yukon Bar occupies another of the earliest
buildings. Other early structures are the Orlander, Osbo, and Seward
Commercial Buildings, all on Fourth Avenue.
There were two machine shops, one of which housed the Ford
dealership. Lechner's Seward Machine Shop still remains, albeit
abandoned. The Buick Building on Third Avenue, once a car dealership,
survives and is now used as a laundry and apartments.
The shrinking number of banks, from two in 1915, (the Harriman
National Bank of Alaska at Seward and the Bank of Seward,) to one in
1923 (Bank of Seward), reflected a decline in population and commerce
as Anchorage grew. The old Harriman bank building, now known as the
Ray Building, serves as a adjunct to the Seward City Hall. A new bank
building was erected in 1979 on the site of the Bank of Seward on the
corner of Fourth and Adams.
Polk's Alaska Yukon Gazetteer and Directory for 1911-12 recorded
Seward's population as 500. It noted that 6 steamers a week plied the
waters between Seward and Seattle. Many of the residents recorded
were classified as miners. Their homes located on Second and Third
Avenues between Washington and Jefferson Streets, constructed during
the 1903-1906 building boom, were "a step down from the Railroad
owners' houses (on Millionaire's Row) and a step up from the shacks on
Home Brew Alley." (Williams)
Longshoring at the port of Seward was one of the main occupations
during the early and mid-1900's, and during the 1940's, 50's and early
60's, employing over 250 men. Most of the freight to interior Alaska
came through Seward. The city also supplied the needs of western
Alaska. As the transportation industry changed, fewer men were
needed. Anchorage built a dock and began shipping. The Alaska
Railroad decided to use rail barges and Whittier became the base for
this traffic, primarily for economic reasons. (Seward Phoenix Log) By
1950 the population in Seward had soared to 2,114. But by 1960
reduced commerce had left Seward with a population of only 1,891.
The Alaska Marine Highway ferry M/V TUSTUMENA was stationed in
Seward beginning in 1960 bringing a total of 35 new jobs to the area.
The ferry used Anderson's dock first and then utilized the remains of a
City owned dock at the end of Fourth Avenue that was damaged in the
1964 earthquake. They established their offices in the old Alaska
Railroad Depot. There were no new buildings associated with the ferry.
The establishment of The Alaska Skill Center, now called the Alaska
Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC), in 1969 brought employment for
65 to 70 state workers. AVTEC started with only two training programs
in food service and mechanics and has expanded to include 55 to 60
training programs today. Annually 1,600 to 1,800 students from
throughout the state attend training courses varying in length from a
week to 14 months.
An active downtown merchants association bolsters the downtown
business section of Seward. Several of the older buildings are empty.
However, the construction of a $50 million marine research and visitor
center, the Alaska SeaLife Center, at the base of Third Avenue at
Railway is revitalizing the area. Several lots and buildings have sold,
some new businesses have opened, and a new gift shop has been built
Many buildings have been upgraded from new paint to major
remodeling. The upstairs of the Alaska Commercial (Sauer) Building
31

http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
has recently been restored as a bed and breakfast. Prior to the SeaLife
Center funding, only one new building, the Apollo Restaurant, had been
constructed since just after the 1964 earthquake when two new
buildings were erected. The Fourth Avenue business district is
configured today as the original layout in 1903 and is lined with one
and two story buildings.
Transportation
Steamships
"... the steamers had been in and out of Resurrection Bay
before the town of Seward began. It was BERTHA in 1902
that dropped a survey party led by F. G. Bleckly and John
G. Scurry near where the old dock stood.
Another party under William G. Atwood had left Seattle in February
1902 for the Nenana area. From there they headed south toward Broad
Pass where they were to meet up with the group landed by BERTHA.
Both expeditions had been sent by the newly formed Alaska Central
Railroad Company to scout out and survey the starting point and route.
It was also the steamer SANTA ANA that landed the first party of
permanent settlers here on August 28, 1903.
In the fall of 1904 there were two steamship companies servicing
Seward on a regular basis.
Alaska Pacific Navigation Company had its headquarters in Seattle. E.
R. Gray was the local Seward agent. They ran the SANTA CLARK, the
SANTA ANA, and the DORA.
The Alaska Commercial Company, with home offices in San Francisco,
ran the steamers BERTHA and PORTLAND. BERTHA sailed from Seattle
via Juneau on the 10th of each month. She left Seward on the 22nd.
By 1905 steamer traffic and service to Seward was to increase
considerably. By May 1906 it wasn't unusual to read reports of five
boats arriving within two days. In fact, Seward was averaging 20 to 30
steamers a month." (Capra)
Trails and mail routes formed Seward's early transportation routes.
In 1902 Anton Eide contracted to carry mail from Resurrection Bay to
Sunrise and Hope. This contract brought a monthly steamer into the
bay. (Barry 1986) A series of trails existed from Resurrection Bay to
the gold fields of Nome. In 1908 the Alaska Road Commission surveyed
a new trail from Seward to Nome to provide more direct winter
transportation by dog sled. Nearly 1,000 miles were cleared and
marked in 1910-1911. Heavy traffic continued over the trail until the
1920's when mining declined. Seward is Mile "0" of the Iditarod
National Historic Trail System. An informational sign marks the start.
The bike path that begins at Fourth Avenue and Ballaine Boulevard and
continues along the shoreline is considered to be the beginning of the
Iditarod Trail. (Seward Iditarod Trail Blazers Pamphlet)
Railroads
"It was five o'clock on that August 7th morning in 1905
when the steamer VALENCIA docked in the port of Seward;
aboard were 443 men to work on the railroad, 25 horses,
several tons of cargo for the railroad commissary, one

determined woman, and an adventurous 14-year-old boy."
(Capra)
Frank and John Ballaine built the Alaska Central Railway to transport
coal from interior coal fields. While construction of the railroad
precipitated the birth and early growth of Seward, the line itself only
extended to Mile 76 prior to the arrival of the Federal Government in
1914 and completion of the line to Anchorage and beyond.
A gasoline driven auto car was put on the railroad for passenger traffic
in 1909. Passengers took the railroad to mile 34, went over the trail by
packtrain to the gold mining area at Sunrise, and then traveled by boat
across Cook Inlet to Susitna. This shortened the trip from Seward to
Susitna to two days. Even though the railroad had built a $55,000
headquarters building on the corner of Adams and Fifth Avenue
(replaced by the present City Hall after the 1964 earthquake) Seward's
rail system did not become a major part of the Southcentral Alaska
transportation system until after the completion of the government
railroad to Fairbanks.
The Alaska Railroad Depot, constructed in 1917 at what is now Adams
Street and Ballaine Boulevard, was moved to its present location on
Railway Avenue following a damaging flood down Jefferson Street. A
craftsman style building, it was used as the depot until 1964, when the
railroad was destroyed in the earthquake and more recently as
headquarters of the Alaska Marine Highway ferry Tustumena for over
twenty years. The depot was entered on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1987.
Alaska Central Railroad Tunnel No. 1 is located just north of Seward
and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The highway from Seward to Anchorage was completed in 1951.
However, various segments of the road were constructed to Moose Pass
and Hope and it was possible to drive to Hope in 1928 - if one first took
the train to Moose Pass. An 18 mile segment from Seward to Kenai
Lake was finished in 1923, but the Mile 18 bridge, which was referred
to as the "missing link," was not completed until 1946, allowing access
by highway from Seward as far north as Hope, and as far west as what
is now the Russian/Kenai River Confluence (Henton's Lodge or
Sportsman's Lodge).
Seward was brought into the air age in 1923 when the U.S. Army Air
Service began planning an around the world flight. The four planes of
the World Flyers arrived in Seward on April 13, 1924 and landed in
Resurrection Bay where they were tied to moorings at the San Juan
Fisheries dock. The fliers overnighted in the Van Gilder Hotel. This flight
increased the interest in commercial air travel in Seward but the first
work on an airfield was not done until 1927 when a site at the head of
Resurrection Bay was selected and the Alaska Road Commission began
work.
The airfield was improved and enlarged in 1929 and again in 1935. In
1940 the Civil Aeronautics Authority took a survey of the Seward
Airfield with the objective of turning it into a mile-long field with radio
beam station and residences for personnel. (Barry 1993) The Seward
Airport was brushed out and completed by the Army and ready for
planes by August 30, 1941.
Seward's place as a major port began with the Alaska Central

http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
Railway=s development of extensive docking and warehousing facilities
at the foot of Fourth Avenue where all water transportation arrived.
Nothing except old photographs remain of the early trestles,
warehouses, docks, and railroad tracks and facilities.
Following the 1964 earthquake and urban renewal, a new small boat
harbor was built in an area created by dredging and filling north of the
original townsite. The Seward Small Boat Harbor has 500 slips and
7000 lineal feet of transient boat space. Many businesses have opened
up in the harbor since 1970.
Communications
In 1905, the Ballaines conveyed one 30 foot lot to the U.S. Signal
Corps as a site for a cable station in Seward. In August, 1905 the
Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph Station (WAMCATS)
was completed. The two story cable office, now a private home, is
located on Sixth Avenue. (Barry 1986) In 1916 the Alaska
Communications System run by the U.S. Army took over long distance
telephone service to Alaska. Four Alaska Communications System
buildings used to house personnel and equipment were constructed on
Third Avenue and remain as private homes today.
In April, 1917 President Wilson set aside 40 acres of flatland at the
head of Resurrection Bay as a site for a wireless station, first
proposed in 1914 to serve military ships and forces. The facilities
included an operating station, a six man dormitory, quarters for four
families, and a power house. It was in operation by December of 1917.
The municipality of Seward acquired the abandoned station in 1931 for
a $1.00 a year lease. A fire in 1934 destroyed most of the facility. The
remains of the wireless station building are in the vicinity of the Seward
airport near the head of Resurrection Bay.
Seward had one or two newspapers from its early beginnings and
very complete files are extant in the Seward Community Library. A
1904 to 1910 index of the Seward Gateway has been compiled and
published.. Other newspapers include: the Seward Daily Gateway, the
Seward Polaris, The Seward Seaport Record, The Seward Tribune,
Seward Weekly Gateway, The Petticoat Gazette, and the Seward
Phoenix Log. Prior to 1919 the Gateway was housed in various
locations. In 1919 it was moved to the basement of the Van Gilder
Hotel, and later to the Arcade Building until that building burned in
1941. New papers were started, merged and disappeared leaving the
Gateway the survivor until 1941.
Spiritual Structures and Sites
St. Peter's Episcopal Church (1904), which is listed on the National
Register, is the only active early religious building still used for religious
purposes in the original townsite. Sacred Heart Catholic Church, built in
1909-1910 and replaced by a new A-Frame church building after the
1964 earthquake, burned in 1988.
The original Methodist Church at Third and Jefferson Streets had an
important, perhaps predominant role in the town's religious life. (Barry
1986) The church was built in 1906 and with a pastor's residence
added in 1907. In 1908 the bell tower was added. At one time high
school classes were held in this church. In 1916, a new church was
built at Third and Church Street along with a pastor=s residence.
(Barry 1993) These buildings were eventually sold to the Lutherans,

http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
and in 1967, the pastor's residence burned. The church is currently an
art gallery/coffee house. A chapel from Fort Raymond was moved in
1946 to the corner of Fourth and Church and became the new
Methodist Church. It was destroyed by fire in 1994.
Since Seward's 1903 founding, there have been a number of
cemeteries located within and around the community. In the early
years there were burials at the present hospital site, on the beach near
the ball diamonds, and on the hillside above the Bayview Addition
where there are still a few graves. At the other two sites the remains
were relocated and the sites used for other purposes.
In 1916 the city purchased and replatted a parcel of land known as the
Woodlawn Cemetery along what is now Salmon Creek Road just before
entering Camelot Subdivision. When Salmon Creek changed its course,
the water table became too high to continue using the land as a
cemetery so it was abandoned in 1926 with most of the remains being
relocated to the present cemetery reserve site.
In 1930 the city received patent to USS 1759, known as the Cemetery
Reserve, encompassing approximately 40 acres at Coolidge Drive and
the Seward Highway. Since a number of local fraternal organizations
had initiated the concept of acquiring this land for a cemetery, the city
deeded one-acre tracts to each of these fraternal groups. The Jesse Lee
Home also used a portion of the cemetery in the dense trees just north
of the Oddfellows plot.
Educational and Social Institutions
The Jesse Lee Home was built in 1923, as an orphanage for Alaska=s
native children, under the auspices of the Wesleyan Women of the
Methodist Church. It was listed on the National Register of Historic
Places in 1995.
Eighty children and a staff of six to eight were moved from Unalaska to
Seward after construction. This institution was moved to Anchorage in
1964, following the earthquake. The privately owned buildings are
currently empty and stripped of all windows, partitions, wiring and
plumbing. The original administrator's residence is currently a private
home.
In the early days of Seward, school was conducted in the Episcopal
and Methodist Churches as money was not available to build a school.
However, school was an important aspect of Seward's life and several
lots were donated and various buildings were built, beginning in 1904.
The earliest school building was constructed on the corner of Second
and Jefferson in 1904 but was destroyed by the Lowell Canyon Flood of
1917.
In 1914 eight lots south of the Episcopal Church were purchased for a
new school which opened in January 1915 with 48 students. Many
residents sent their children Outside to high school as Seward was not
accredited for a 12 year program. In 1927-28 high school (without
seniors) was held in the Harriman Bank Building (Ray Building).
(Williams)
A new elementary/high school building was constructed on the block
bounded by Third and Fourth Avenues and Madison and Monroe in
1928. In the early 1950's the high school moved into a new building of
its own on Second Avenue. The elementary school continued in use
until 1969 when a new elementary school was built on part of the Jesse
2/13/2018,4:09 PM
http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
Lee Home property. In 1979 the Second Avenue high school moved
into a new facility adjoining the newest elementary school.
The 1928 school building was torn down in 1982 to make way for
buildings associated with the Alaska Vocational Technical Center
(AVTEC) facilities. Other AVTEC functions are located in several
buildings both old and remodeled in Seward. The dormitories and food
service center, library and student services center, are located between
Madison and Monroe and Third and Fourth Avenues on the former site
of the elementary school which was demolished in 1982.
The administration center is in the remodeled high school on Second
Avenue and the building maintenance training area is located in the
National Guard Armory, also on Second Avenue. Other shops housing
the mechanics department are located along the Seward Highway near
the north end of town in newer buildings built by the state.
The University of Alaska established the Institute of Marine Science
(IMS) on the waterfront and based its research vessel, the R/V ALPHA
HELIX, in Seward. A marine life laboratory, supply warehouse, transient
student dormitory, and a new auditorium-marine display building, built
in 1981, are part of this campus complex located at the foot of Third
Avenue. The SeaLife Center located next door, will allow IMS staff to
conduct research at that facility. The IMS campus complex is slated for
expansion in 1996 with the addition of an 11,500 sq. ft. mariculture
technical center/shellfish hatchery.
Health care came to Seward in 1911, when Dr. J. H. Romig established
a hospital in the former Cameron House on Millionaires Row, 423 Third
Ave. He became the chief surgeon of the Alaska Railroad.
A major health problem in Alaska, tuberculosis, was detected in the
State during WWII and in 1946 a Sanitarium under the auspices of the
Wesleyan Ladies Auxiliary was opened in buildings erected at the
decommissioned Fort Raymond. The "San" as it was called, could
accommodate over 100 patients and was a major employer in Seward
after the war. This property is now owned by the City of Seward and
occupied by the U.S. Army and Air Force Recreational Camps which
were established after the Sanitarium closed in the mid 1950's. The
building now housing the Wesley Rehabilitation & Care Center on First
Avenue was built in 1958 to house the nurses employed at the "San".
(Williams) The present Seward General Hospital was erected in 1957.
Recreation
Many social organizations formed in Seward in its formative years.
An active Arctic Brotherhood chapter (Seward Camp No. 21)
constructed a social hall on the corner of Fifth and Washington in 1917.
Later used as a gymnasium, theater and garage, it has housed
Dreamland Bowl since 1948.
The upper story in Brown and Hawkins was used as a social hall and for
dances during the early days of Seward. The Pioneers of Alaska held
their first dance there in 1913.
The Masons and Oddfellows held their meetings on the third floor of the
Van Gilder Hotel from 1916-1921. Eventually the Masonic Lodge moved
its meetings to the upstairs of the McMullen building on Fourth Avenue
until they built a new structure on Fifth in the 1960's. The McMullen
building was built in 1929 by Gerhard (Stucco) Johnson using concrete
a2
2/13/2018,4:09 PM
http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
blocks made in Seward. The devastating fire of 1941 started in the
building next to the McMullen Building and spread south. The McMullen
Building prevented the fire from spreading north. When the McMullen
Building was remodeled in 1983, the remaining vestiges of the old
Masonic Lodge were removed.
An International Order of Oddfellows (IOOF) Hall was built in 1921 on
Adams Street and is used today by the Seward Life Action Council.
Seward enjoyed an active Chamber of Commerce, a booster
organization called the Seward Commercial Club, a Ladies Aid Society
of the Methodist Church, The Women's Auxiliary of the Episcopal
Church, and the Altar Society of the Catholic Church during its early
history. All had a great influence on Seward and continue today.
Community Celebrations have always been a part of Seward's
history. The Fourth of July has always been an important celebration
day in Seward, embellished by the addition of the Mt. Marathon Race.
This is the second oldest foot race in the U.S. dating from 1915. Held
annually, the race attracts runners and sports enthusiasts from all over
the United States and some foreign countries.
In 1956 the Seward Chamber of Commerce started the Seward Silver
Salmon Derby. This annual August event continues to draw numerous
entrants. The Chamber also has a month long halibut derby which
began in 1987.
Reverend Louis H. Pederson, Seward's first Methodist minister, wrote
the resolution which led to making Alaska Day an official holiday in
Alaska. (Barry 1986)
The Alaska Legislature has designated July 9th a state holiday - Alaska
Flag Day. This was the date upon which the Alaska Flag was first flown
in Alaska. Benny Benson, an orphan housed at the Jesse Lee Home,
created the winning design for the Alaska State Flag in 1927.
The Resurrection Bay Historical Society annually promotes the founding
of Seward on August 28th.
Seward has been blessed with many public developed recreation
camps, cabins, and trails. Since the late 1960's, the U.S. Army and the
U.S. Air Force have utilized the former Fort Raymond as a recreational
camping and boating headquarters for Seward and the Resurrection
Bay area. The Army is currently rebuilding their portion of the camp
retaining few of the buildings. The Alaska State Parks, U.S. Park
Service and the U.S. Forest Service supply recreation cabins, well
groomed trails, and campgrounds in the area surrounding Seward.
Two Lakes Park, located on the hillside area of Seward includes trails
and lakes which are used extensively. Early swimming and ice skating
areas were located here. Ice skating is still a popular winter activity.
The Greenbelt Park was developed after the 1964 earthquake
demolished the railroad roundhouse, tracks, Standard Oil storage tanks
and the docks then located along the waterfront. The bike path follows
the designated route of the Iditarod Trail. The park supports pavilions,
parking for numerous recreational vehicles, and a tent camping area.
Disasters
Natural and man made disasters have plagued Seward from its early
4-3

http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward_history/index.html
years. Lowell Creek flooding began in September, 1917 when heavy
rains and powerful winds struck Seward. At the time, the creek was
located where Jefferson Street is now, and washed out everything in its
path - bridges, trees, houses, and the railroad tracks. It tore the school
house (Second and Jefferson) from its foundation and toppled the
newly constructed Community Christian Church. Every light and power
pole along the stream washed into the Bay and Seward was without
light, telephones, power and water. Lowell Creek also flooded property
south of the stream, between First and Third Avenue. Washouts
occurred on the rail line. Subsequent to the flood a citizens committee
recommended building a flume 15 feet wide, eight feet high and 3,000
feet long. A second flood in 1918 damaged the old Seward General
Hospital at Fifth and Jefferson, then operated by the Catholic Sisters of
St. Joseph. (Barry 1993)
The Lowell Creek Diversion Tunnel was constructed by the Corps of
Engineers in 1939 to divert the waters of Lowell Creek from its course
down Jefferson Street. The tunnel is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
The devastating fire of 1941 burned 19 businesses from McMullens
south on the east side of Fourth Avenue to the Arcade Building on the
corner of Fourth and Railway and over to the Seward Hotel on Fifth
Avenue. Over 450 persons were left homeless. The Army provided
tents to house them. Another fire in 1942 burned the west side of
Fourth Avenue from the present day Elks Lodge on the corner of Fourth
and Washington south to the Lechner property. One hundred persons
were left without homes. (Polk)
The 1964 Good Friday Earthquake and its resultant tsunamis
devastated the industrial heart of Seward. It destroyed the San Juan,
Army and railroad docks, the tracks leading to the dock, the oil tank
farms, fish processors, warehouses and the small boat harbor. The
waterfront of downtown Seward was permanently altered.
The destruction of the waterfront led to less emphasis on Seward's role
as a rail port facility. The railroad began moving more materials
through the port at Whittier and increased the shipping going directly
into Anchorage. Economic stagnation resulted from the loss of
longshoring jobs.
Although the U.S. Government's post-earthquake Urban Renewal
Program built a new city hall, it also wiped out much of an older area of
Seward including Home Brew Alley, located behind Second Avenue
directly against Bear Mountain, and Alley B a section of small shacks
used for many years for various unsavory recreational purposes. The
University of Alaska Institute of Marine Science now occupies most of
that area, located at the end of Third Avenue.
The 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, while an environmental disaster in
the waters and on the beaches of Kenai Fjords National Park, proved to
be an economic boost to Seward. Over 500 persons found employment
in the immediate area. Fishermen deprived of their fishing season were
able to charter their boats to the oil spill cleanup and many received
compensation for lost fishing.
Oil spill litigation settlement monies will also benefit Seward in the
funding of the research portion of the Alaska SeaLife Center and
purchase land for public use. These include a waterfront tract at Lowell
Point to be used as a trail head and access to Caines Head State
Recreation Area (Fort McGilvery during World War II) and a parcel

Seward How Seward Was Founded
History
By John E. Ballaine
How Seward Originator and Promoter of the Alaska Central Railway
Was Founded Founder of Seward Alaska
Originally printed in the
Seward Daily Gateway
January 1, 1906
When I decided, in the latter part of
1901, to organize and promote a : _
railroad from the Pacific Coast through ti�
Central Alaska to the Yukon valley, my ,11,.
first aim was to establish the ocean -
terminus on a harbor easy of access
and free from obstruction every hour "fdor •
of every day of the year. '
My other requirements of the harbor ( "
were, if possible, that it should afford
good shelter, ample depth of water, terminal facilities for wharves and
bunkers, adjacent room face factories and smelters, and outlet for a
railroad, and land area to accommodate an ultimate population of not
less than 500,000.
I held the view that the ocean terminus was of prime importance for it
would serve all future generations and in time become one of the
world's important centers of commercial and industrial activity.
From every source of available information I examined in turn Tyoonok,
Seldovia, Knik, Port Well, Valdez, Illiamna, Cordova Bay, Port Nelle
Juan, Controller Bay, and Resurrection Bay. Odd as it may now seem,
Resurrection Bay was the last that came to my notice, for it was then
perhaps the least known harbor on the entire southern coast of Alaska.
By the process of elimination, the choice soon narrowed to Resurrection
bay, Valdez, Cordova Bay and Seldovia. All of these but Resurrection
Bay presented two or more fatal objections.
They either lacked in sufficient depth of water, had restricted land area,
or offered no practical outlet for a railroad. Some of them occasionally
froze over in winter. At Resurrection Bay alone I found every
requirement to my complete satisfaction.
My attention was first attracted to Resurrection bay by the report of
Captain Glenn, of the United States Army, who started from it in 1898
with a government exploration party to cooperate with similar parties
starting for other points on the southern coast of Alaska to find an "All
American route to the Klondike,"for a trail, wagon road, or railroad.

Resurrection Bay was one of the best harbors in
Alaska and that it connected with a route of
easy grades and moderate cost for a wagon
- road or a railroad, either by way of the
Matanuska river to the Klondike, or up the
i T
011 Susitna valley to the Tanana and the Yukon.
_ ,„ . I believe, and time has justified the belief, that
-- €k,-- IIthe true route for a railroad to the Yukon valley
�'_; , ,leak . was not, as popular sentiment then favored,
` r northeasterly to tap the Klondike, a mining
.0, camp on foreign soil and limited in productive
capacity but due northerly through the rich
Susitna and Tanana valleys in the heart of Alaska, striking the
navigable rivers of the interior at a point central to the widest extent of
American Territory.
After the organization of the Alaska Central Railway had been
perfected, in March, 1902, and I had selected Resurrection bay as its
tentative terminal, I sent an engineering party under R.E. Field to make
a detailed survey of the harbor, and other engineering parties to make
preliminary surveys for a railroad from Resurrection Bay.
In the meantime I had the lines run to locate a homestead where
Seward now stands, preparatory to obtaining patent from the
government should investigations result satisfactorily.
Mrs. Mary Lowell and her family were then the only residents. They had
lived for eighteen years in the cabin that is still their home.
The reports of the engineers more than confirmed all the favorable
information I had previously obtained about Resurrection Bay and the
practicability of a route from its head to the interior rivers.
My investigations had convinced me that the resources tributary to the
route were diversified and abundant, including gold, copper, high grade
coal, and the best timber and agricultural lands in Alaska. I therefore,
in November 1902, definitely selected Resurrection Bay as the ocean
terminus of the Alaska Central Railway.
The name of the future city was not , , : ,�
finally chosen by me until the spring of ,.,.:,-
1903.
�:1903. By that time I had made n
encouraging headway in my efforts to "' -
raise money for the building of the ,•ri: -
Railroad, and it was important to have .
the starting point named even thought S.1,.,4,,1,11,,. 1
it then existed only in a virgin forest.
The first Chief Engineer of the Railway Company, C.M. Anderson, had
designated the place Vituska on all the blueprints he had prepared. He
explained it to be a combination of Vitus, Captain Behring's given
name, with the last syllable of Alaska. But the only names that
occurred to me for serious consideration were Seward, McKinley, and
Roosevelt.
I finally concluded that the city destined to be the metropolis of the
great territory could fittingly bear no other name than that of the man
of his day who foresaw the ultimate primacy of the Pacific ocean in the
world's commerce.
Q 1
2/13/2018,4:21 PM
http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/seward history/sewards_founding.html
Accordingly, in March, 1903, I bestowed upon the new town to be the
name of Seward, in honor of William H. Seward, President Lincoln's
Secretary of State. I advised Frederick W. Seward, now a resident of
New York. That I had chosen the name of this father as the most
worthy for the future metropolis of Alaska. He replied under date of
April 6, 1903, saying in part:
"I need hardly say that the selection of the name seems to me an
appropriate one, and that it will be gratifying to those who knew him in
life, as well as to the still greater number who hold his name in esteem
and loving remembrance. Time has now shown that his predication sin
regard to the future of Alaska were not at all exaggerated. Your
enterprise is well conceived and the proposed route seems judiciously
chosen. It is well adapted to the growing needs of the region through
which it is to pass. I heartily hope that your anticipations of its success
may be realized."
It was on that date in 1903 that the steamship Santa Anna arrived with
the first cargo of construction material and a force of about thirty men
to commence the preliminary construction of the Alaska Central
Railway, such as building the wharf, setting the saw mill to work and
clearing right of way, in preparation for permanent construction the
following spring.
On the Santa Anna also were a score
of men who promptly established
Iw `k themselves in business. The
- 0,-- construction force and these few
41 f
.\ business men, less than 100 in all,
> r
Imade up the bulk of Seward's
population until March 1904, when the
construction of the railroad was
undertaken in earnest, and the growth
of the town assured form and activity.
Returning from Seward to Seattle, Washington in September 1903,
after attending the commencement of construction work, I carried a
petition from almost every man in the yong town, asking the postoffice
department to establish a postoffice there and appoint Lillie N. Gordon
postmistress.
I took the petition to Washington D.C., in November , 1903. There I
learned that Mr. Wayland, the postal inspector for the district
embracing Alaska, had filed a protest against the bestowal of the name
Seward on the embryo city of Resurrection Bay, alleging that there
were already several Sewards in the territory.
I went personally to President Teddy Roosevelt and explained to him
the basis of my desire to have the new place named Seward, pointed
out to him that the other post offices of that name were canneries or
temporary camps which could easily be changed to another name. He
heartily agreed with my view of the case, and asked me to address a
letter to him directly, embodying the reasons I had given him verbally,
and bring it to him nest day at 10:00 o'clock. I did so. After he had
read it he said to me, as nearly as I can remember.
"You are quite right. This railroad
should give rise to an important city at
the ocean terminus. That city deserves
to be named in honor of the man •
responsible for making Alaska
4
2/13/2018,4:21 PM
http://www.cityofseward.net/hpc/reward_history/sewards_founding.html
American territory."
He thereupon wrote on a margin of the latter a note addressed to the
fourth assistant postmaster general, Mr. Bristow, saying that he agreed
with my views and would be glad to have Mr. Bristow give the subject
of my letter his prompt attention. The marginal note was signed "T.R."
I immediately went with the letter and the President's endorsement to
the fourth assistance postmaster general, in company with Mr.
Boynton, superintendent of the Associated Press at the National
Capital.
Within ten minutes of the time I entered his office General Bristow had
issued an order establishing the new post office of Seward on
Resurrection bay, and another order appointing Lillie N. Gordon its first
Postmistress.
To some it may appear an extravagance to say that people now living
will see at Seward one of the half dozen largest cities on the Pacific
Coast. The same people in 1880 would have pronounced it impossible
for Seattle to attain a population exceeding 10,000 or 12,000 by 1905,
as a great many at that time did.
Vit:
I remember the time very well, for as
a child I cam to Washington with my
parents in 1879. Seattle was then a
r,.. ragged settlement on the fringe of
impenetrable forests. It had no electric
lighting plant, no water works, no daily
newspaper, as Seward has today.
Seattle in 1880 was father from the
center of population, several times
over, measured in time of travel, than Seward is in 1905.
As a matter of fact, such a statement concerning Seward's future is but
a statement of mathematical truth to those who consider the rapid
increase of population in the United States, and its constant trend
northwestward, coupled with the fact diminishing areas yet to be
populated; who must be made with increasing force on Alaska's stores
of gold, copper, coal, iron and tin; who realize that Seward is the ocean
gateway to a system of railroads now building that will cover every
productive part of the territory.

Unfortunately, enrollment records have not been located. Numbers did
not remain constant as some children grew up and left, were adopted,
or died from tuberculosis. Some children were not orphans but placed
in the home because their parents were in the Tuberculosis sanitariums

was to have one of their own win a statewide school competition to
design Alaska's flag. John Ben "Benny" Benson, Jr. a seventh grader
won over 700 other contestants. Benny Benson of the village of Chignik
was first placed in the Unalaska home and later traveled with the other
students to the new Seward home. He designed the now familiar flag of
eight stats of gold on a field of blue representing the North Star and the
constellations the"Dipper"and the"Great Bear."
In March of 1964, a massive earthquake rocked south-central Alaska
causing widespread damage. Goode Hall, the largest Jesse Lee building
was heavily damaged and later
- condemned and demolished. The
Methodist Church decided to close the
1111` `` Seward building and re-open a new
• home in Anchorage for two reasons.
: '! - The Seward buildings were not well
- • insulated and the complex was not
economical to heat especially for the
small number of children. In addition,
the state of Alaska was moving away
from orphanages and replacing this system with one oriented around
foster care. Now known as Alaska Children's Services, this organization
still provides services to children and their families.
In 1966, the Methodist church deeded the Jesse Lee Home to the city
of Seward, who eventually sold the property to the private owners.
Today, after being abandoned for nearly 40 years, the property is again
owned by the City of Seward.

Seward Historic Plant & Tree Register
What is the Seward Historic Plant & Tree Register?
The Seward Historic Plant & Tree Register was established by Seward City Council
Ordinance No. 07-_ to increase public awareness of Seward's locally significant plants
and trees. This program promotes community appreciation of natural and cultural
resources, and encourages the preservation of these assets. In addition, the research and
documentation that result from completing the local register application provides a
valuable historic resource. Please note, there is nothing regulatory about being listed
on the Seward Historic Plant and Tree Register. Placement on the register does not
place any restrictions or limitations on a property.
Historic plants and trees are those individual and groups of plants that have been
designated as significant on the basis of their importance to Seward's history. They need
not be found within the Seward city limits, but must be located between Caines Head in
Resurrection Bay and the head of Kenai Lake. Plants may be acknowledged due to their
inclusion in a landscape, or association with a significant event or person. A noteworthy
plant may be identified as a specimen, historic, landmark, collection or commemorative.
For a plant or tree to be considered for inclusion to the Seward Historic Plant & Tree
Register, it must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
A. The plant or tree is associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad pattern of Seward history.
B. The plant or tree is associated with the life of a person or group of historic
significance.
C. The plant or tree represents a significant and distinguishable entity within a
community or location.
D. The plant or tree has age, size, or species significance that contributes to its
heritage status.
To nominate a tree or plant, complete the attached application form. The applicant need
not be the owner of the property where the plant is located. Once the application has been
submitted, it will be forwarded to the Seward Historic Preservation Commission. For
assistance, contact the City of Seward's Community Development office, 907-224-4048.

Hello Valarie,
Carol Griswold - she does not have the Proclamation Form or a list of the trees having been given historical
designation. She did complete a Tree Register application several years ago but doesn't know the outcome.
No wonder you had me contact Carol, I didn't know she was a botanist along with all her other talents. She
sent the attached Historical Tree document and an amazing Plant Walk Tour that includes historical buildings,
facts, plants, trees and notes that I find amazing. A very valuable tool.
She wondered if the historical tree designations would be in the materials P&Z gathered when charged with
supporting SHPC before the task was given to the library.
Fireside Chat- Carol suggested we change the name Fireside Chat to something else so not to confuse people
about the September meeting. It is her understanding the chats were to hear historical stories from local
people I think she has a good point so before I introduce this at the RBHS on Thursday could we get a
suggestions from the group about changing the name?
Hope you are having a nice day.

R.O.O.T.S. Rare, Old, Outstanding Trees and Shrubs
Specimen Tree: exemplary form for the species, unusual species
for the area, special site location, relation to historical event.
Heritage Tree: "something to be inherited." A designation for a
tree considered desirable based on the tree's age, historical
significance, aesthetic value, size or horticultural value. These
trees are objects of preservation.
Native Trees and Shrubs: Usually, a species known to have
existed on a site prior to the influence of humans. More generally,
any species not introduced by planting, Examples:

Elderberry, Sitka Willow and other willow species.
Non native Trees and Shrubs:

Weeping Birch, Lodgepole Pine, Lilac, Sitka Rose
Plant Sources:
The Sitka Agricultural Station was disbanded in 1930. Many of
their experimental plants were transferred here. The European Mt
Ashes may be from Sitka originally. People also ordered trees,
shrubs and perennials from the Sears Catalog. After the war,
nobody had any money to order plants. Source: Mary Elizabeth
Lee, botanist, 3-6-92
Plants were also brought here from Hope, Alaska.

47. 501 Railway Avenue: Seward Depot, aka Seward Station
National Historic Register.
Built in 1917 as the Alaska Railroad Depot at the base of Adams
and Ballaine. Moved to this site in 1928 following a damaging
flood down Jefferson Street. Fine example of the hip-roofed
gv i 13
Craftsman Bungalow style architecture. The roof windows are
fake, adding detail and style.
Look east and point out:
*48. Railway Avenue: Founders' Monument and Iditarod
Park
To the east on the waterfront, the Founder's Monument honors the
August 28, 1903 Ballaine landing. A cement obelisk and bronze
plate was originally erected in 1978 by the Seward Elks Lodge to
commemorate Seward's Diamond Jubilee. It was rebuilt in 2003 as
a Seward Centennial project.
*49. The Iditarod Park marks the start of the National Historic
Iditarod Trail, which originally began in Seward as a mail and
supply route from the coast to the interior. Supplies went north,
gold came south. In 1925, the Iditarod Trail became famous for the
delivery of the life-saving diptheria serum to Nome by dog teams.
50. Washington Street
Part of Seward's original historic grid, dedicated by Frank Ballaine
in 1905 for public use. The street has been in continuous use since
then.

Source: Pat Williams, 11-16-02. See note above, probably not
original, but could be well over 70 years old. The city, after some
controversy, decided to curve the sidewalk around this tree rather
than go straight and harm it.
Birch trees were there in 1972, about 8" diameter
Norway Pine: Pinus resinosa, was a seedling from the USFS
in 1974 or 1975. 4-6" long paired needles snap cleanly when
doubled. (Don Mai, personal conversation.) Very poor health.

52. 220 Fifth: Harbor Dinner Club, now NPS, demolished in
2010
Built in 1935 as a home for Charles Cooper with a well-landscaped
lawn, large trees, and flowers. Cooper later sold the house to the
Bill's Club (forerunner of the Elks Lodge). The street-side
addition was a military building, moved intact from Fort Raymond
in the early 50s. Bob and Cathryn Zentmire bought the club in
1962 and the family operated the restaurant until its purchase by
the National Park Service in 2006.
According to Judy Kesler of the NPS, all the original townsite trees
were cut down by the pioneers, so these are second growth.

OUR GOALS
To prevent needless damage to and cutting down of trees.
To educate and inform local citizens of ways and means to care
for and to preserve their trees.
To stimulate greater public interest in trees.
To develop a computerized list of Heritage Trees.
To advise appropriate local governments and the Provincial
Government each year of new tree designations.
To conduct Heritage Tree Tours, give talks and otherwise inform
area residents and tourists of our Heritage Trees.
To stimulate the formation of Heritage Tree Societies in other
communities.
These are the first of Surrey's Heritage Trees. These pictures will be
changed periodically to show all the various trees that have made the
register. As indicated on the First page these trees are in the process
of being included in the City's Significant Tree Bylaw that will give
them City Council protection.

Heritage Tree Program
The Heritage Tree program was established to preserve and recognize
the significant trees in our community.
Benefits of Participating in the Heritage Tree Program:
The program provides a way for people to save significant trees on
private property where a tree removal permit is not applicable.
Heritage trees are protected from unnecessary removal and aggressive
maintenance actions with review and appropriate approval of all
activity by the Urban Forestry Commission.
Heritage trees will have plaques with their designation on or adjacent
to the tree.
The Urban Forestry Commission and City of Vancouver will strive to
create partnerships with local tree care companies or sponsors for the
care and maintenance of heritage trees.
Since 1998, eleven heritage trees have been nominated. If you have
or know of a special tree that might be considered a Heritage tree,
please review the program criteria listed below and contact the Urban
Forestry Program at (360) 696-8171 Ext. 8150.
The selection process is on-going. To be nominated, a tree must
be in good condition and have the consent of the property owner.
Tree nominations are reviewed semiannually; the deadlines for
nominations are October 31 & April 30. Heritage tree status is granted
if the tree meets any of the following requirements:
Size - a diameter of at least 36 in
Special site location
Relation to an historical event
Unusual species for the area, or exemplary form for the species

Seward Highway Milepost (MP) 0 to 8 Pavement Preservation
TBD/CFHWY00109
No Historic Properties Affected
January 19,2018
Linda Lasota, Chairman
Seward Historic Preservation Commission
PO Box 766
Seward,AK 99664
Dear Ms. Lasota:
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF)has assumed the
responsibilities of the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)under 23 U.S.C. 327, and is
proposing to resurface the Seward Highway from milepost(MP) 0 to 8, which is located within
Sections 1, 12, 13, 14, 22, 23, 26, 27, 34 of Township 1 North, Range 1West, and Sections 3 and
10 of Township 1 South, Range 1 West on the US Geologic Survey Quad Map Seward A-7,
WGS84 Latitude 60.114678°N, Longitude-149.442067°W, in Seward, Alaska(Figure 1). The
environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal
environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by DOT&PF pursuant to
23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated November 3, 2017, and executed by
FHWA and DOT&PF.
Consultation for this project is being conducted in accordance with the 2017 First Amended
Programmatic Agreement...for the Federal-Aid Highway Program in Alaska. The DOT&PF,
acting as a Federal agency, finds that no historic properties would be affected by the proposed
project pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(d)(1), implementing regulations of Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act. This submission provides documentation in support of this finding, as
required at 36 CFR 800.11(d).
"Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure."
The environmental review,consultation,and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being,or have
been,carried out by DOT&PF pursuant to 23 U.S.C.327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated November 3,2017 and executed by FHWA
and DOT&PF.
Project Description
The proposed work would include:
• Milling and resurfacing the roadway
• Repairing structural sections of the road
• Upgrading pedestrian facilities to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA)requirements
• Bridgework that includes spall repair,replacing expansion joints, and
waterproofing membranes
• Repairing or replacing guardrail and guardrail end treatments
• Re-establishing existing drainage ditches
• Repairing or replacing culverts
• Adjusting utility features
• Repairing or replacing signage and striping
• Vegetation clearing and grubbing as needed
Area of Potential Effect
The area of potential effect(APE) consists of those locations within DOT&PF ROW on the
Seward Highway from MP 0 to 8 where construction activities would have the potential to cause
direct effects to known historic properties(Figures 2a-2r). Because the project will essentially
recreate existing conditions and would not introduce any new visual, auditory,or atmospheric
effects that would diminish the qualities for which known historic properties have been
nominated to or listed on the National Register of Historic Places(NRHP), an expanded APE to
account for indirect effects was determined to be unnecessary.
The APE consists of those areas where the existing roadway pavement will be milled and
resurfaced from MP 0 to 8 from edge-of-pavement to edge-of-pavement. At some intersections,
milling and resurfacing will extend into intersecting streets to create a smooth transition between
existing and new pavement. To protect the road embankment during flood events,the eastern
slope of the shoulder and ditch between Nash Road and Herman Leirer Road will be lined with
riprap to improve drainage in the area and stabilize the embankment.
Where necessary,existing curb ramps,warning tiles, and damaged sections of sidewalk will be
replaced to meet ADA specifications. At the intersection of Third Avenue and Railway Avenue
the existing sidewalk, curb ramps,backing curb, and detectable warning tiles will be
reconstructed to meet ADA specifications and improve pedestrian safety. Reconstruction
activities will not extend more than eight inches(20 cm)into the roadbed, which is still within
the structural section of the road prism.
Efforts to Identify Historic Properties
Over the course of conducting background research,the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey
(AHRS)mapper and database have been consulted to determine whether historic properties were
located in the project area;the most recent review of the AHRS website occurred on December
27,2017. In addition to the AHRS mapper and database,the following documents were
consulted in order to identify known and potential locations for cultural resources in the project
area and include the following: the Iditarod National Historic Trail:A Comprehensive Plan
(BLM 1986), Findings of No Significant Impact for Iditarod National Historic Trail
IOC
Comprehensive Management Plan (1981), World War II in Alaska:A Historic and Resources
Management Plan,Historical Properties Survey Seward Highway: MP 0 (Seward) to MP 36
(Sterling Highway Intersection),Determination of Eligibility to the NRHP: Seward Commercial
Historic District,Archaeological Monitoring of ADOTPF Seward Highway Project in Historic
Downtown Seward, Alaska, and Cultural Resources Survey Results Iditarod Trail Surveys (2002-
2006) Seward to Ingram Creek. These investigations resulted in the identification of one historic
property in the APE (Table 1). In addition to this research, DOT&PF staff conducted field visits
on June 29th and September 20th to evaluate the potential for project actions to have adverse
effects on historic properties within the APE.
Table 1: Historic Properties within the APE
AHRS# Site Name DOE/Listing Date DOE Status
SEW-00682 Lowell Homestead Site 9/26/1995 Eligible
SEW-00682
SEW-00682, the Lowell Homestead Site, is a subsurface archaeological site with an AHRS card
description that likely places its horizontal boundaries within the APE at the intersection of 3rd
Avenue and Railway Avenue. A more exact location for this site is impossible to document as
the artifact assemblies recovered from the vicinity of this intersection trend towards an admixture
of objects that span the time from before and after Seward's founding, showing possible
associations with the Lowell Family homestead as well as the Alaska Transfer Company(SEW-
01303) and Brosius and Noon Building Supplies and Lumber Company(SEW-00151). SHPO
concurred with Cultural Resource Consultants that SEW-00682 was eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on September 26, 1995 under criterion D for its potential to
possess data that would be important to future researchers.
Prior work at and near this site has included monitoring and data recovery efforts in 1995 and
1997 for the construction of the SeaLife Center, a 2002 data recovery project prior to the
construction of a pedestrian pathway associated with the SeaLife Center, and archaeological
monitoring in 2006 after early historic artifacts were encountered in the process of extensive
excavations for the installation of new utility lines, fire hydrants, and sidewalks.
Finding of Effect
DOT&PF proposes to repave and reconstruct the existing pedestrian facilities in the vicinity of
SEW-00682, the Lowell Homestead, to bring them into ADA compliance and improve
pedestrian safety. The proposed project will not have any construction activities that would entail
new ground disturbing activities outside of the existing ROW and would not introduce any new
acoustic,visual, or atmospheric effects that would affect the characteristics for which historic
properties in the APE were determined eligible or listed to the NRHP. As such, DOT&PF finds
that there would be no effect on historic properties as a result of this project.
Subsurface investigations by Cultural Resource Consultants (CRC)between 1995-1997 and Alan
DePew of Alaska's Office of History and Archaeology(OHA) in 2002 for activities related to
the construction of the SeaLife Center and sections of sidewalk along Railway Avenue
respectively were considered acceptable resolutions to the adverse effects on the archaeological
1 el-
deposits of SEW-00682. A 1996 report by CRC (OHA Record ID: 16208095) details that much
of the sub-surface cultural material located closest to the project's APE is buried below an
additional 17 inches (43 cm) of fill. As the maximum depth construction activities would occur
in this area would be no more than 8 inches (20 cm)below the existing road surface, this would
remain within the disturbed context of prior sidewalk and road construction events. Because of
this,there is little chance of encountering artifacts similar to what was described by Mark
Luttrell and Valerie Park in 2006 (OHA Record ID: 8721) when the existing sidewalk and
neighboring undisturbed soils in this area were excavated to shift the sidewalk to the west.
Consultation Efforts
Initiation of consultation letters were sent to the following parties: the Qutekcak Native Tribe,
Chugachmiut, Chugach Inc., the Resurrection Bay Historical Society, the City of Seward, the
Seward Historic Preservation Commission and the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Only SHPO
replied on September 19, 2017, with a statement of non-objection to the proposed study area or
level of effort conducted for identification. These parties will also be notified of this finding.
If you have questions or comments related to this proposed project, I can be reached by
telephone at 907-269-0535 or by e-mail at michael.wanzenried(&,alaska.gov. Your timely
response will greatly assist us in incorporating your concerns into project development. For that
purpose, we respectfully request that you respond within thirty days of your receipt of this
correspondence.

Travel & Training Grant:
Willingness to Comply with Requirements
1. I understand that this is an application for federal matching assistance for up to 60% of the total
project cost from the Historic Preservation Fund(HPF). Should this proposal be awarded, I
understand that the state may include an indirect cost which could vary throughout the course of
the grant period,but will not exceed the amount stated in the executed grant agreement.
2. If awarded an HPF grant, I understand that it is my responsibility to comply with all pertinent
State and Federal regulations, the State-Local Grant Agreement, and requirements outlined in the
Historic Preservation Fund: Certified Local Government Grants Manual.
3. In submitting this application, I understand that project records are subject to audit after project
completion, and that if such an audit questions expenditures for which I have been partially
reimbursed I will return an amount equal to 60% (less state indirect costs and not to exceed 10%
thereafter) of the questioned expenditures.
4. I understand that no grant or promise of a grant exists until the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) signs the State-Local Grant Agreement, even if the Alaska Historical Commission has
recommended funding the proposal. Further, I understand that any funds expended before full
execution of the grant agreement (signature by both parties)will not be reimbursed without
specific approval from the SHPO.
5. I understand that the CLG or each traveler is responsible for making travel arrangements and will
pay all costs initially. Upon completing travel and training, the CLG shall submit one request for
reimbursement with documentation of relevant costs (receipts,timesheets, etc.) identified within
the budget proposal, and a narrative report from the traveler(s).
