Brick Graffiti- JN 2-27-39

A flooded assembly line.

The historic entrance of the mill, alongside the (relatively) new Great Western offices.

I am not sure what caused the discoloration, but two of the walls near the door to the machine shop are stained yellow-red. I assume this had to do with the walls in relation to blowing piles of iron ore, and that the walls have been partly infused with iron oxide. Any other ideas?

A heavy cloth separates the sanding station from other areas. This particular section seemed to specialize with chair seats, judging by the many unsanded blanks there.

Some small candles light one of the few surviving tunnels that once linked buildings on the campus with the steam plant. In winter, it was common for patients to be transported through these to avoid the cold, and during the Cold War these served as nuclear fallout shelters.

This is a 1956 furnace. It was used to forge wheels, casings, and parts for the axel shop.

The final ball mill in the Chain O’ Mines concentrator. Behind it was a bucket of steel balls.
