| Description: | The Orderly Room is the only remaining Yukon Field Force building left on its original site. It was one of three similar buildings with pyramidal roofs, which fronted the parade ground. These buildings, plus large barracks beside the parade ground completed the complex. After the Yukon Field Force left, in 1899, the North West Mounted Police occupied part of the complex until the detachment was withdrawn in 1911. The Blanchard family lived in the Orderly Room in the 1920s and 30s. In the late 40s, the front wall was removed to the structure could be used as a garage. |
