[English] Cobalt Street offers a good example of frontier style mining architecture. Most of the houses date back to the earliest days of the camp. Settling was easier in the area as people got off the train and headed past the commotion, landing them somewhere along this street.

[Français] La rue Cobalt est un bon exemple d'architecture minière dans le plus pur style pionnier. La plupart des maisons datent des premiers temps du camp minier. S'établir était chose facile à l'époque: dès qu'on débarquait du train et qu'on quittait la gare, on aboutissait quelque part sur cette rue.
