In the corner of the former school grounds…

Looking through the an access panel at the hoist room for Shaft No. 3. The cable had long ago been scrapped, along with the motors to drive the pulleys. I still admire the workmanship on the spool’s arching metal shell.

Miller Creek, in one of the wider sections that features a trout (as in the fish) canal in the middle of the drain. Even though it is underground, the fish are able to visit their breeding ponds upstream by swimming through the specially designed tunnel.

A late look at the brewhouse, long after the stainless steel tanks were scrapped.

Note the tiled floor between the bucket conveyors and an old mill.

From inside a painting shed, where heatlamps and a vented roof made sure that the Caddy looked like it was worth the price tag.

There is a cool old air compressor in the corner of the powerhouse.
