Slagway

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.

This building is now being used to grow fish.

There are a few campers parked in the abandoned buildings around the NAD. I am guessing that they were once a more secure place to store such things OR they have always been wide open, and this was a quick and free way to dump unwanted toys.

When the building switched souls from booze to bread, these contraptions were mounted across the brewhouse floors… they’re not for hops, either.

There’s concrete under that dirt… under that water… somewhere.

This was one of two skyways that went between production line offices. It’s easy to tell because it’s not reinforced for machinery to travel through it. I also like that it’s a double-decker, so to speak.

On my first visit to the roundhouse, the control booth was extant.

On the boarded-up first floor of the house proper near the door to the chapel, the last pew sites next to a wet box of Bibles.

I love the ghost sign across these two elevators, originally built as Superior Elevator. It’s looking pretty rough.
