the ground to the peak. The exterior consists of unpainted, vertical wood siding. The house <br />was occupied until recently purchased for the coal mine expansion (2010), and, as a result, <br />various aspects of the structure reflect significantly more recent construction than others. <br />There are two entryways into the house: the main entry—a wood door and screen door— <br />near the center of the north-northwest wall has a small roofed porch with wood steps leading <br />into the house and log railing. The other entry is a simple door frame in the west-southwest <br />wall. There are ten wood frame glass windows in the house of a variety of shapes, sizes, and <br />styles ranging from multi -pane ("lights"), to two -pane sliding, to single -pane windows. One <br />window in the east-northeast wall, is made of 25 square glass bricks similar to designs <br />manufactured from the 1930s to the present(http://glassblockblogger.com/2011/03/14/ <br />a -brief -history -of -glass -block, accessed 10/4/13). One window is void of glass. A stove pipe <br />extends through the roof from the main, or living, room in the northwest corner of the <br />structure. <br />Feature 2, approximately 12' to the east of the northeast corner of Feature 1, is a well- <br />built pump house measuring 6'x 9' with log walls—oriented northeast by southwest. The <br />front -gabled, wood -frame roof, measuring 5' from ground surface to the peak of the roof, is <br />covered with recent asphalt shingles. There are no windows and the only opening is a single <br />milled lumber door in the west-southwest wall. The bottom logs are set on the ground <br />surface with no apparent formal foundation for the building. The interior walls have been <br />covered in fiberglass insulation. There is a modern electric pump ("H2OW-TO Water <br />Worker"), and various hand crafted piping, valves and gauges inside the structure. A wood <br />power pole extends through the roof on the southwest end of the structure with a glass <br />insulator and plastic covered wire that connects to Features 1 and 4. A mound of coal is <br />situated to the northeast side of the pump house exterior. <br />Feature 3, approximately 20' to the northeast of Feature 2, is a former chicken coop <br />that has been more recently utilized as a storage shed and trash receptacle. The half -gabled, <br />shed -style wood frame is covered on the exterior with plywood siding and vertically -placed, <br />rough -cut, sawmill trim bark slabs. It measures 15'8" long (north-northwest x south- <br />southeast) by 6' (east-northeast x west-southwest). The structure rests upon the ground <br />surface with no indication of a foundation. The frame roof, a portion of which is collapsing <br />into the interior, is covered with rusting sheet metal. A single access is located at the south- <br />southeast wall of the coop, however no door remains. The interior floor is dirt and there is a <br />three -tiered hen roost mounted on the north wall of the structure. The interior is filled with <br />modern trash. <br />Feature 4, approximately 8' to the southeast of the southeast corner of Feature 1, is a <br />rudely -constructed, and deteriorated wood frame outbuilding that is oriented north -south by <br />east -west. It measures 13'6" north -south by 8'6" wide by 8' tall at the peak of the roof. The <br />walls are constructed of vertically -placed, rough -cut, sawmill trim bark slabs and milled <br />35 <br />
