Property / Address: William Bosch House, 214 Dixon Street

Keywords: William Bosch House, 214 Dixon Street Juneau, Telephone Hill historic neighborhood, Garside lots Juneau

History

The William Bosch House at 214 Dixon Street sits on the west slope of Telephone Hill. The residence was constructed between 1913 and 1914 by William Bosch.

The 1894 plat map of the Juneau Townsite shows Charles W. Garside as the owner of Lots 3 and 4 at the turn of the century. Charles and his brother, George Garside, arrived in Juneau in 1884. Both men were mining engineers and early surveyors of the Juneau Townsite. George Garside was also one of the original developers of the Perseverance, Atla, and Jumbo lodes in the Silver Bow Basin.

City tax records indicate that Charles Garside sold the two lots to William Bosch in 1912. Bosch was the proprietor of the Old Stand Saloon on Front Street in 1983, located next to the 20th Century Market.

The estate of William Bosch later sold Lots 3 and 4 to Joseph Stocker in the 1950s.
