The most outlandish building of the seven-block historical corridor along Broadway St, and possibly the most photographed building in Alaska, is this defunct fraternal hall that was a club for prospectors, now home of the Skagway Convention & Visitors Bureau. Nearly 9000 pieces of highly decorative driftwood cover the facade; they were attached in 1899 and extensively renovated, piece by piece, in 2005.
