View from the alley of a cluster of older commercial buildings in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Anchorage" class="extiw" title="w:Downtown Anchorage">the downtown area</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorage,_Alaska" class="extiw" title="w:Anchorage, Alaska">Anchorage, Alaska</a>.  These were four connected buildings, a mixture of wood-frame and corrugated metal construction, which were built in the first decade of Anchorage's existence.  A false front along Fifth Avenue provided a very different view of the property.  The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loussac-Sogn_Building" class="extiw" title="w:Loussac-Sogn Building">Loussac-Sogn Building</a> is directly to the west and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorage_5th_Avenue_Mall" class="extiw" title="w:Anchorage 5th Avenue Mall">Anchorage 5th Avenue Mall</a> (background) is across the street.  The buildings were demolished at some point in the succeeding five years.  It was a fenced-off vacant lot with a banner advertising the "5th Avenue Market", though no commercial activities were occurring on the property.
