• Compare to MS042-013-053-956.28 "This shot has to be from the same location, which would make this a Hecla engine house and shaft house (#3?) after 1875."

• Is it possible this is actually Pewabic Mine? The Pewabic shaft houses looked similar to old C & H stuctures, and the walkway on the peak of the big building is similar to that on the old Pewabic engine house in #MS015-MI-2-32.
