Aerial View, 2011

This sawtooth roof collapsed months later under the weight of an early snow.

This rockhouse was added below the shaft to load Gilpin Tram cars.

There’s a chair in there… on the auditorium balcony.

The pipes above sprayed water onto the hot coke.

Thanks to the demolition (I’ll never say that again), the inner structure of the bins are revealed. So much wood!

Looking toward the museum from a broken window on the side of the concrete tower. The sign on top lights everything a dull pink-orange.

A damaged roof channeled rain onto the adobe walls, cutting them in half. In the distance, a preserved house and the ruins of the Colmor School.

The huge snowfalls of 2011 brought new collapses across the buildings.

Looking across the ruined skyway that connects the two elevators. I wanted to walk across it, but my exploring parter held me back.
