Note: I have 2 Sanborn maps of this site dated 1928. One of them does not depict building F or the launders and the other one does. Also, the one missing building F includes the line "All buildings removed" in it's property description. In all other aspects, both maps appear identical.

Note to reader
The text information cannot be guaranteed accurate at this time. The photocopy I have been working off of is not very good. My next visit to the Keeweenaw will include a visit to the MTU Archives where I will attempt to clarify things.
