Fireweed Studio, Heritage site and commercial building in Yellowknife, Canada.

Fireweed Studio stands as a one-story log cabin with a rectangular shape, built on a concrete foundation and covered by a front-gabled roof with asphalt shingles.

The structure was constructed in 1939 at Giant Mine to store dynamite and mining supplies, then relocated and sold to the Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce in 1973 for one dollar.

The building functions as a gift shop operated by the Yellowknife Guild of Arts and Crafts, displaying local artworks and handicrafts during summer months.

Located on 49th Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets near City Hall, the studio opens additional hours on Tuesday evenings to accommodate visitors from the nearby farmers market.

This former explosives storage facility transformed into an arts center represents the evolution of Yellowknife from mining operations to cultural preservation.
