Hartvick Os drafted the plans for the Port Arthur Ski Club's 1938 clubhouse at Strathcona Heights.[1]
Role in skiing
The 54-by-24-foot log-sided clubhouse opened on 4 December 1938, facing Lake Superior above the fifth hole of the Strathcona golf course. It burned in December 1939 and was rebuilt to the same design by January 1940.[1][2][3] The Port Arthur club's hill was one of the early sites in the story that led to Big Thunder.
