Heritage Resources Unit Original Telegraph Office, Dawson City
The final phase of rehabilitation and restoration work has been completed on the Original Telegraph Office in Dawson City. The structure was the first designed and built by Thomas Fuller at the turn of the 20th century. Fuller went on to follow in his father’s footsteps as Chief Dominion Architect. His architectural legacy in Dawson City also includes the Commissioner’s Residence, Court House, Post Office and Old Territorial Administration Building - all impressive heritage landmarks.
The Original Telegraph Office has been converted for residential use, with several of the ground floor rooms restored for interpretive purposes. Architecturally the building features a central octagonal bay tower and interior finishes including patterned wood panelling on the walls and ceilings.
