Notes
  • Significance: As one of the Sloss City Furnaces' major sources of red ore, the site has significance as an element in the "straight line production" model. The portal offers insight into the design and construction elements of ore mining openings, and the hoist may be the only surviving example of an ore mine hoist in the Birmingham District. The hoist house contains interesting architectural features but its ground plan is unusual, possibly reflecting a functional adaptation to the terrain and layout of the mining operation.
  • Survey number: HAER AL-26
  • Building/structure dates: ca. 1882 Initial Construction
