• This is C&H's Gearhouse. The small tower has a pulley in it powered by a driveshaft that goes back into the main building. If you look at the right side of the tower, the cable is visible entering and leaving the tower. Somewhere another photo of this exists and it was mentioned that there were two of these in Calumet 2017-12-07 - 09:49:00 by yooper557
