The P & H Shovel Bucket

The P & H Shovel Bucket was donated by B.R. Davidson and Built by Clayton Company Limited. The Iron Mine building was generally referred to as the Union Hall for Local 3466 of the United Steel Workers of America. It opened in March of 1951, and was built by volunteers. It housed an 8-lane bowling alley, a lunch counter and was a popular sports Centre in the community. IN 1959 Barnett-McQueen Construction Company built the upper story addition allowing for offices, a furnished board room and an auditorium (seating capacity of 550) with high ceiling, hardwood floors and a large stage. If the walls could talk, no doubt we'd hear the voices of miners, the music of Saturday night dances and the laughter of people enjoying themselves. The "union Hall" is a significant Atikokan landmark.
