Steam Valves

A caustic tank in one of the unremodeled brewhouse backrooms.

Judging by the bed, this room was used by employees in its later years.

This part of the roundhouse was being brought down by rain and gravity.

These machines circulated water through the powder from the ball mills. Gold and silver is heavier than gravel, so it sinks while the junk rock floats.

Parts lockers on the top floor of the power plant.

Taken in the last few minutes of the day. You can tell by the way that the wall is deteriorating that the windows using to have an arched top!

Left: A medium storage chamber with access to an interconnecting steam tunnel at ceiling height. This room also has various smashed toilets. Why? Because dead toilets–all of them–always find a home in a cave. Center: Steps go past a +-intersection, left goes deeper, right goes to utility tunnels for the brewery, forward used to go to the brewery basement… it’s now backfilled. Left from the backfill is a small hallway; see ‘Backfill Self Portrait’. Center-Right: Utility tunnels tie knots between the brewery’s demolished basement and its caves. Right: Most of the storage volume is in large chambers down this causeway.

A huge steel tank, one of several left over, left over from either the Ashland Oil or Allied Chemical periods.

The side of the oldest building on the property, the former casket factory.
