The record — long form

Skagway City Hall is the logged — the 'moss chinked' that's the '97 build, the '26 feet' that's the room's size. The 'Soapy's end' is the held — the 'roundup base' that's the '98 sweep, the 'gang broke' that's the con man's fall. The 'marshal jailed' is the mixed — the 'court cell office' that's the room's jobs, the 'gold rush' that's the chaos' cause.

The 'law office' is the turned — the 'Price bought' that's the '01 sell, the 'dwelling made' that's the '14 shift. The 'reacquired' is the saved — the '2013' that's the city's buy, the 'oldest left' that's the rush's trace. Skagway City Hall is the small — the 'single room' that's the government's size, the 'history big' that's the role's weight.

The file keeps Skagway City Hall: the logged room, Soapy's end, the mixed uses, and the saved cabin.

Skagway City Hall is the archive's Alaska file — the 26-foot room that broke a gang.

Why this file matters

Skagway City Hall is the archive's Alaska file — the log cabin where Soapy Smith's reign ended.

A cabin keeps its moment — the file's suggestion being that the City Hall's hold is the small: the 'one room' that's the government's all, the 'roundup run' that's the gang's end, and the 'moss chinked' that's the rush's build.
