Thunder Bay Tourist Pagoda, Information kiosk and national historic site in Thunder Bay, Canada
The Thunder Bay Tourist Pagoda features an octagonal brick structure with a broad roof, wooden details, and a domed cupola atop the building.
Constructed in 1909 by Port Arthur city officials, this information office served travelers arriving by transcontinental railways and passenger ships at nearby docks.
The architectural design combines classical elements with Asian influences, including a columned entrance with a carved beaver and maple leaf motif above.
Located at 170 Red River Road near Water Street in downtown Thunder Bay, the pagoda maintains its original function as a tourist information center.
The structure resulted from a design competition won by local architect H. Russell Halton, who created this enduring symbol of early 20th-century civic development.
