Cultural History

This pan abode house is one of many prefabricated dwellings that were shipped to the Yukon in numbered pieces and assembled on various sites. It uses a log-style construction of interlocking wood, but has the appearance of a framed house. In Whitehorse, these buildings proliferated in the 1940's and 1950's, particularly among company housing provided. Taylor and Drury erected several pan abode houses in town for use by their many employees.
