  • The Yukon Hotel is a National Historic Site of Canada and part of the Dawson Historical Complex. It is a log building with a three-storey false facade on First Avenue at the corner of Church Street in Dawson City, Yukon. The building was constructed during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898 by J.E. Binet, who named it Binet Block. A local entrepreneur, he and his brother J.O. Binet also operated Malden House, the Marconi Hotel, and Binet Brothers Saloon, and the Binet Bros. Hotel and General Merchants in Mayo. He and his workers used available materials, rushing to complete it by November. The narrow building had large street-level windows flanking the main entrance. Only the facade was made of milled lumber, as it was in short supply; the remainder of the building was made of "rough logs chinked with mud". It was leased to the Government of Canada for $1000 per month, which used it for the office of the Commissioner of Yukon, William Ogilvie, for land and timber agent offices, the territorial registrar, and as living quarters for the staff. In November 1900, the government relocated its offices to the post office, newly constructed at the corner of Third Street and King Street. Binet then operated the building as a residence. The building then changed ownership many times. Henry Freeman bought Binet Block in 1909 and operated it as the Miner's Rest Hotel. In 1913, Minnie Witmore renamed it the Freeman Hotel. The building was purchased by hotelier Emma Wilson in 1933, whose adjacent hotel was destroyed by fire. She renamed it the Yukon Hotel after a previous but no longer existing hotel operated by James Booge from 1898 to 1902 and John Borland from 1903 to 1907. Wilson operated the hotel until 1957, after which it was boarded up. Pierre Berton and other Dawson City natives urged the Government of Canada to save and restore the structure. In 1975, the Heritage Canada Foundation purchased the "vacant and decaying" building for $1, and by 1980 had spent $386,000 to renovate it. In 1983 the foundation sold the building, and in 1985, innkeeper and operator of the Eldorado Hotel, Peter Jenkins, purchased it. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada on 12 June 1982, and a commemorative plaque is installed on a large rock adjacent to the building. It was selected based on its "representation of typical commercial structures built at the height" of the Klondike Gold Rush, such as siting flush to the sidewalk, roof pitch, three-storey false facade, and log construction. It forms part of the Dawson Historical Complex with other frontier buildings identified by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, including the adjacent St. Paul's Anglican Church, the Bank of British North America building, and the Carnegie Library.

  • In the background, a large forested hill, increasing in height to the left, fronts a blue-gray sky. In the foreground, a road with no markings is at the base of the photograph, on the other side of which are four buildings. The leftmost building is obscured by a fence, and both obscured by the building to its right. That two-storey building has wooden steps with a white railing leading to the front door, on either side of which are windows. Above these is another row of windows, and above those the name "The Front St. Inn". The next building has the signage "Yukon Hotel" above two windows flaking a balcony door. The cream-coloured facade of the building matches the balcony railing, which is secured by four burgundy posts. Below the balcony is the front entrance, with cream-coloured doors flanked by large windows. The right side of the log building is visible extending to the background to the right, four equally spaced windows on each floor. The fourth building is partially behind and to the right of the Yukon Hotel. (en)
