Description
Summary:Caption on image: 2010 - Arctic Brotherhood Hall and A. B. Mountain, Skagway, Alaska Printed on verso of image: Made in America by Edw H Mitchell at San Francisco. Filed in Alaska--Cities/Location--Skagway Constructed during the summer of 1899, the AB Hall was the first building for the fraternal order of the Arctic Brotherhood that formed during the Klondike gold rush in February of 1899. In 1900, the brothers added a unique facade comprised of locally harvested driftwood and sticks to create a classic composition with quiltlike patterns, large masaic letters, and a gold pan - a unique example of Victorican rustic architecture.
