One of the first businesses to be established in Wasagaming, the Wigwam remains the oldest restaurant in the community. It has important associations with the work camp located just behind this block as it served as the camp's commissary and hall. Architecturally, it exemplifies the Tudor Rustic style developed by the Architectural Division in the national parks. The large interior space is well preserved and detailing such as the open ceiling, exposed pole rafters and central dormer illuminating the interior space is typical of the work of the local builders. The Wig Wam is an Provincial Heritage Site. A kiosk outside the restaurant has a short history of the building. |
