Perimeter Fence

For some time, Purina ran a feed service out of the elevator. Inside and outside were signs of its past presence.

The Clipper was one of the most popular Packards, but its production was cut short by WWII. Had they produced the car instead of Rolls Royce plane engines I imagine there would might be driving a Packard today, rather than a Ford.

Reflections of graffiti during spring melt.

Captured bolts for a pressure cooker on an industrial scale.

Looking toward the power station at the edge of the explosives plant.

The complex was so big that trains could make deliveries through the middle of it, passing below this striped skyway.

The hospital featured a farm that once helped to sustain it. This is one of the few remaining signs of those years, near the Nurse’s Cottage.

The bottom of the tailings boom is rotten. In days when the dredge, floated, gangways connected it to shore, it seemed. You can see the size of the pontoons under the boat here.

The Blacksmith Shop (right) was connected to the Bunk House (left) via this narrow walkway. This is likely due to the fire risk in each building. The left building had a cooking stove and furnace for heat and the right building had a small industrial furnace to repair mining equipment. A little walkway would mean that a fire on one side would be easier to fight from the other.
