• This house, 34' by 17', was located adjacent the Arctic Coal Company mine No. 2, on Advent Bay. The house was originally in Advent City, on the east side of the Advent Bay. In 1913, the Arctic Coal Company moved the house to this location.'Spitzbergen' is also spelled 'Spitsbergen,' and is now known as 'Svalbard.'
