Notes
  • Significance: The air/manway shaft contained both escape stairs and an air shaft for Consolidation Coal Company Mine No. 11. It was a significant portion of the safety features of the mine. The air shaft was capped by the hood of a ventilating fan and provided fresh air to the mine workings below while removing impure air and gases. The escape stairs could have been used by miners in event of an accident that blocked or disabled the mine elevator.
  • Survey number: HAER MD-87-C
