• left. Asingle-light, fixed wood sash window is on the west end of the elevation into the shed exten- sion. The cottage has a rear doorway just left of center through the shed extension on the west side of the building. Structure 3 has been modified considerably from its original construction and is only in fair condition. Structure 4 is also covered with clapboard siding. The original simple hip roof of the struc- ture has been modified into a crossing hip pattern with a small gabled dormer projection to the west near the center of the roof. The main entry into the cottage is on the south end of the east elevation; a large picture window is on tt~e north end. A rear entry is through the center of the shed addition on the west side. All of the windows have been removed from the structure. Two modified window openings are present on the south elevation, two are left of center on the west elevation, and one is right of center on the north elevation. The condition of Structure 4 is poor. An opening beneath the house on the north side shows that a major floor joist is broken. Some rot of roof elements on the north side of the structure was also noted. In addition, the interior of the structure has been gutted. In front of Structures 3 and 4 is a recent wood frame structure used to store a fire hose. The structure measures 6 by 6 feet., has a gable roof, and is completely covered with corrugated sheet metal. It has a door on the east end of the south elevation. Structure 5 -Residential Cottage Structure 5 is a residential cottage built in 1903 and used in more recent years for mine drill core storage. The main wing of the structure measures 21 by 26 feet, oriented southwest to north- east. It has a composition shingle hip roof and clapboard siding with plain endboards. The doors and windows are surrounded by plain board molding. A stove pipe projects threugh the southeast slope of the roof. Attached to the northeast end of the northwest elevation is a 9 by 16 foot (northeast- southwest axis) shed addition. This is covered with shiplap siding. An 8 by 10 foot (northeast- southwest axis) coal storage shed addition has been attached to the southwest end of the southeast elevation. This has horizontal boards nailed onto the inside of the walls, leaving the wall studs ex- posed. The entry to the building is through a 6-foot-square vestibule on the southeast end of the northeast elevation. This is sided with vertical tongue and groove and is reached by a set of wooden steps. Asix-light, fixed wood s:ish window is on the northwest side of the entry, and an empty win- dow opening is on the southeast side. A pair of two-over-two, double hung, wood sash windows are present on center of the southeast elevation. Another two-over-two window is to the right of the en- try on the northeast elevation, with afour-by-four, side sliding, wood sash window farther to the right. Structure 6 On the north side of Sne:ffels Creek is a mostly collapsed wood frame structure (Structure 6). The standing portion of the st~vcture measures about 10 by 16 feet, oriented east to west, with a collapsed 12 by 20 foot (north-south axis) wing attached to the north side. Walls of the structure are of vertical boards partly covered with corrugated sheet metal. The small portion of gable roof that remains is also covered with corrugated sheet metal. The function of the structure is not known, nor is its date of construction. It appears to be greater than 50 years old, however. Stricture 7 Structure 7 is located ju:>t east of the manager's residence (Structure 1). Tt is a 6-foot-square wood frame structure with a gable roof. It is covered with shiplap siding with plain endboards. A five panel door is on the southeast end of the northeast elevation. The structure has the appearance of an outhouse, but its function is not lutown. Its construction is similar in appearance to that of Structures 1-6, so is probably of ~aarly vintage, perhaps as early as 1903.
