This old photograph by William S. Hare shows the Hotel Galena of Keno, Yukon.

Also shown, top right,  is the actual old letterhead of the hotel. It is dated April 12, 1928 and the proprietor is Harry Yamasaki — I think he is standing in the doorway in the photo. As I collect old Yukon letterheads, I was very glad to get this one.

What the history of the Galena Hotel was, I don’t know.
