| Summary: | PH Coll 203.70 The Dawson Amateur Athletic Club building, was erected sometime in latter half of the 1890s. The building cost $42,000 to build, and housed a number of recreational facilities. One of these facilties, a curling rink, was home to the Dawson City Curling club, which claimed to be the second largest in the world at the time. Due to the geographic location of the city, the sun only set for a short period of time each day in the height of the summer season, and outdoor sporting events were often held at midnight.
