Paul Denhardt Cabin

The Paul Denhardt Cabin was registered as a Municipal Historic Site in 2012. The site consists of a one-storey cabin, a frame outhouse and a shed, situated in the North End Heritage Character Area. 

The construction consists of good craftsmanship with horizontal round log construction with square-notched corners and a gable roof clad with corrugated sheet metal that overhangs the entrance way. The shed and outhouse illustrate the practice of re-using materials that was common in the town. The outbuilding materials consist of irregularly clad lumber, flattened fuel cans, sheet metal, and corrugated metal pieces. 

The building may have been constructed by Paul Denhardt, a miner, in 1900. The site is representative of the many residences that dotted the landscape during the Klondike Gold Rush. The Denhardt Cabin is one of the only remaining properties of a similar age and style in Dawson City, set within one of Dawson's oldest neighbourhoods. Today, the site is overgrown with trees, willows and shrubs, and is unique in that it remains undeveloped and protected from modern intrusion.
