1 <br />~~ <br />~J <br /> the east and west ends of the building at the third level. These are decorative, stationary, <br /> round wood sashes measuring 3'-9" in diameter that have a four life configuration, 2" brick <br /> mold casing and are set in a brick soldier course around the circumference. Type D are four <br />' windows located on the north wall of the boiler room at the second level, one above each <br /> door. These are stationary mullion units measuring 9'-2" x 4'-0" with a 4-wide, 4-high life <br /> configuration per sash, 1 1/2" brick mold casing and precast concrete sills. The remaining <br />' eight windows, Type E, are located on the north and south walls of the cupola. These <br /> operating units measure about 5' x 3', have a 5-wide, 2-high life configuration in which the <br /> center 6 lites operate in an awning manner. The building has two large, flush wood panels <br /> on the east and west ends that measures 5' x 6'-8" and have a 4 life over 5 panel door cut in <br /> the center. The north wall of boiler room has four, flush wood panels that open vertically <br /> with track mounts on either side. The ceiling in the generator room has 2" x 4" wood <br />' framing that is attached to steel trusses with galvanized raised rib metal roofing for the <br /> ceiling membrane. The boiler room lacks a ceiling and is open showing a truss network of <br />' welded and bolted angle iron with 1 " x 6" steel "C" channel gins over trusses that support <br />galvanized metal roofing. The eve overhang on the boiler room is approximately 3' wide <br /> and the eve overhang on the generator room is approximately 2' wide. The center of the <br /> boiler room roof has a steel frame, gable roof cupola which is sided and roofed with <br />' galvanized corrugated metal. This cupola measures roughly 12' wide x 44' long and 5' high <br /> and has four venting windows on each of the long side walls. Prominent in all exterior <br /> views of this massive building is the smokestack for the boiler room. It is outside the <br /> building and is centered on the south wall of the boiler room about two and a half feet from <br /> the exterior wall. It appears to be approximately 150 high (see drawing A9). <br />1 V Th <br />l <br /> e <br />ower mule barn which stands on the south side of the old State Highway 133 is <br /> shown in the colored photograph from the 1930's, but its original date of construction is <br />' unknown. It is a large, 2-story, wood-framed, metal-roofed structure measuring 60'-3" x 30'- <br /> 1 ". The foundation is poured concrete and the floor is dirt. The walls are 3" x 4" stud <br /> framing with perlins between and l" by random width board and Batton siding. The second <br />' story floor is l" x random width floor boards on 2" x ]0"joists. The interior contains 14 <br /> stall areas of varying size and a tack room in the north corner of the main level. The <br /> northwest and southeast walls each have five windows with 6-life stationary sashes that <br />' <br />" <br />' <br />' measure 2 <br />-4 <br />x 2 <br />-10" and have 4" flat casings. Centered in each gable end of the barn <br /> is/was a wood double hung 6-life over 6-life configuration with a 4" flat casing. On the west <br /> end are two wood sliding double door units measuring 5'-0" x 6'-0" with 4" flat casing and a <br /> stationary panel on each. On the south side of the barn is an open sided shed with a feeding <br /> trough measuring about 50' x 12'. Eighteen feet northeast of the barn is a 12-feet-tall, 21'-5"- <br /> diameter feed silo. The silo has a concrete foundation and floor. The upper wall and roof is <br />' constructed of corrugated metal (see drawing AS). Associated with the silo and barn is a <br /> corral and field area for the mules. Mules were an essential part of the work force at the <br /> mine until 1956 when mechanization finally replaced all but one of these sturdy animals. <br /> -9- <br />1 <br />
