James Wickersham, judge, lawyer, US Congressman, explorer, and author, lived in Juneau with his wife Grace until he died in 1939. In 1974 the house was sold to Robert Geirsdorf, who sold it ten years later to the State of Alaska. The house was made into apartments. Since then, the occupants and visitors have smelled bacon cooking – a favorite of James Wickersham. Wickersham has also been seen on several occasions. The smell of Grace Wickersham’s perfume has also been smelled in the house. Footsteps in the upstairs study can be heard as well.
