Kenora Rowing Club/Curling Rink

The Kenora Rowing Club and Curling Rink was located in Kenora, Ontario from 1892 until 1970.
"Curling had its beginnings in Kenora (then Rat Portage) in 1889. Because of the lack of funds the first curling rink was a make-shift affair. Curlers waited until the ice formed on Rat Portage Bay and then a building shell was erected over it. The bad ice was frequently blamed for a poor showing. A proper clubhouse, which served as the curling club in the winter and rowing headquarters in the summer, was built in 1892 by the Athletic Building Committee. That first clubhouse is pictured in this photograph.”
