The Artic Brotherhood Hall 1899 Videos
HABS Fly-through of the Arctic Brotherhood Hall in Skagway, Alaska
The Arctic Brotherhood was a fraternal organization founded by a group of gold seekers on board a steamer bound for Skagway in 1899. Upon arrival, they undertook the construction of their meeting hall, designated Camp Skagway No. 1. The building's remarkable facade, consisting of hundreds of pieces of driftwood, was installed in 1900 and is attributed to Charles O. Walker. The majority of the interior is devoted to the large two-story meeting hall space, with its impressive stone fireplace and second-floor balcony. Considered an outstanding example of the American rustic style, the Arctic Brotherhood Hall today houses the Skagway Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The Arctic Brotherhood Hall was documented by the Heritage Documentation Programs division of the National Park Service, sponsored by the NPS Alaska Regional Office and the City of Skagway. HDP architects Jeremy Mauro, John Wachtel, and Mark Schara captured data using a combination of traditional hand measuring together with high-definition surveying. A Leica Scanstation C10 3-d laser scanner was used to create the point cloud, rendered with applied panophotographs in Leica Cyclone. The fly-through animation of the point cloud was executed in Pointools.
