Machine Shop
This building contained the blacksmith shop, and was equipped with power driven drill presses, and lathes, etc. Therefore, it was called the machine shop. The crew of mechanics that worked here kept all the mine and mill machinery running smoothly.
Occasionally a passing automobile that had broken down was towed to its door to be put into running condition again.
