This photograph shows the home of Chief Ko-Teth Sha-Doc, in Ketchikan Alaska. I was in Ketchikan in the 1980s and remember seeing a house painted dark-blue with a whale-totem painted on it, similar to this. Probably the home of a descendant of Ko-Teth Sha-Doc and the modern chief of the Tlingit band there. This public domain photograph was taken in 1906.

This is another image taken by a non-professional photographer, Charles Clinton Page. Page was born in New York, probably in Ulysses (Tompkins county) in January 1873, and attended Cornell University in Ithaca, graduating in 1899. He was a lawyer, and practiced in Trumansburg New York for a few years before moving to Alaska about 1906, where he was appointed Clerk of the Court by Judge Royal Arch Gunnison, also a Cornell alumni. In 1914 he was again a practicing attorney, still in Alaska, though he stated his ‘permanent’ location was Long Beach, California.
