Plate XXXI. Old Powder Magazine and Sundial at Fort Chipewyan, 1927.

Although a wooden structure, this magazine in size, shape, and roof detail reflected the style of the small, but more substantial, stone powder houses at a number of Company posts. Note the typical ball ornament at the peak of the roof.
