Legend has it that the ghost of a woman named Mary roams the halls, waiting for her fiancé who never returned from the gold fields.
Built in 1898, the Golden North Hotel has been a part of Skagway's landscape since the Klondike Gold Rush era.
During the 1920s, the hotel served as a hospital for the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad workers.
The hotel features a distinctive false front, a common architectural style during the Gold Rush to make buildings appear more grandiose.
The hotel has been featured in several documentaries and films about the Klondike Gold Rush, highlighting its historical significance.
