Scattered along the remnants are metal posts – some twisted and bent – that once held machinery. These had been cut clean off with a blow torch by the scrap hunters that had robbed this area of machinery after the mines closed.

A delicate brick ledge, perhaps used to support a planked floor or catwalk. Seen along the inside edge of the outer wall.

Most metal posts within the structure are boxed in with wood, for what reason I don’t know. Note the outer wall to the left which surrounds the inner brick foundation.

Possibly a window, located along the bottom of the outside wall. There was also a similarly built door on the opposite wall. Apparently a maintenance corridor must have existed between the outer wall the inner foundation.

Remains of the rear outer wall as seen from outside. Built using poor rock from the mine. A large section of the rear wall and the entire front wall is missing. Perhaps destroyed upon the removal of the hoist machinery.

While the outer wall is made from poor rock, the inner foundation on which the machinery sat is built with both poor rock and bricks. The bricks apparently manufactured by the “brush” company.
