A US Army Corps of Engineers tug, tied at the end of the pier before the American Victory was parked here.

A side view of the oven pusher from the ground. The tallest coal bunker looks tiny in the distance, though on the scale of the factory it’s practically on top of me as I’m taking the picture.

It is unclear when the ‘Superior Warehouse Company’ sign was put up, but it was likely around 1916-1917, when maps indicate it served as a dry goods warehouse, operated by Twohy-Eimon Mercantile Company. The Sivertson sign was likely added in the mid-1980s. In this image I tried to preserve the colors the bricks turn at sunset.

The hiking around Central City is beautiful and full of history. Just get a proper topo map!

I didn’t test the rungs, but I bet the view was incredible.
