Remnants of a 1940s tiki bar where an Alaska governor once bartended still sit just below Fourth Avenue, as does an apparent shooting range.
The space now functions as a storeroom that’s part of Bill Dankworth’s souvenir shop, Trapper Jack’s Trading Post, on the corner of Fourth Avenue and G Street in downtown Anchorage. His store sits on more than just an old tiki bar — in another part of the basement, there’s an old shooting range, with a pulley system overhead to move targets back and forth as well as a 50-foot-deep horizontal cylinder to aim into.
One of two former bank vaults located beneath The Bear Paw Bar & Grill in downtown Anchorage on Monday, Feb. 7, 2022. once part of a less-than-authorized club under previous owners. The other bank vault is closed up for good with high voltage warnings since it now houses a municipality transformer, said Mike Pulcifer, CEO of E Street Dining, which is opening the downtown Bear Paw restaurant.Cleo Hill, a retired Anchorage fire marshal, said she entered tunnels beneath Fourth Avenue when she carried out fire inspections downtown sometime in the early ‘90s.
Time magazine covers from the 1950's are attached to a beam in the former coal room located beneath the Historic Anchorage Hotel on E Street. Hill said inspectors never found anyone in the tunnels, but they tossed around ideas: Was someone being kept or trafficked down there? There were rooms to keep people in and mattresses to sleep on, “and then God knows what would happen to them after that,” she said.
