This driftwood-decorated frame building was the home of a fraternal group founded by gold seekers on their way to the Klondike. The building of "Camp Skagway No. 1" was erected in 1899, and the facade was put up the next year. I am so enjoying your trip and wonderful photos! Found this info on the “weird building” on Google:

I took the same trip in May 2005 on a different HA Ship, The Volendam. I was using a D70 then and I have several hundred shots which could slip into your collection unnoticed. We took the White Pass train trip in the morning and then a helicopter up to the Ferrebee Glacier in the afternoon. I agree that there seems to be an effort to milk the "cruise tourists" at the dock side shops. Here are some of my D70 efforts.
