Albert Fuhre (1929 – 2010)
	
Albert Fuhre was born in Edmonton.((“Silent Pioneer of 1898.” //The Klondike Sun// (Dawson), 26 October 1989.)) He was a well-known artist who lived in the Yukon for forty-six years. Fuhre was the mayor of Dawson in 1973. His family included wife Allanah, brothers Maynard Fuhre and Bill Hakonson, and sister Kory Mayes.((“Albert Fuhre.” //The Klondike Sun// (Dawson), 24 February 2010.)) 

In 1971 and 1998 Fuhre led campaigns to save the most photographed building in Dawson, The Guns and Ammo Building. In 1971 he led a one-man campaign that resulted in him raising over $600 to purchase the building from Martin Dennis Victor III and donating it to the Klondike Visitors Association (KVA). In 1998, KVA was faced with three choices for the building: fence it off and leave it as it is, maintain it as a building in distress for as long as possible, or replace the building with a replica. KVA set up a trust fund to accept donations for the preservation of the building.((Dan Davidson, “Guns and Ammo Building in Dire Straits.” //Klondike Sun// (Dawson), 20 March 1998.)) 
Ten pieces of art by Albert Fuhre are held by the Dawson City Museum.((Archives Society of Alberta 2019 website: albertaonrecord.ca/albert-fuhre-fonds))
