Caption: Typical Homes
Additional Description: The early men working the mines were poor immigrants and were unable to afford to build a home.
The Oliver Iron Mining Company built some houses and rented them to the workers.
Later, some of the families were able to build their own houses. These houses were typical miners homes and were located here on Lincoln Street (top four), and Washington Street one block north (bottom two).
