Why this spot

1902-1939 coal mine and planned company town

A coal camp from 1902 that was rebuilt from 1919 as a planned Pueblo Revival company town with over 100 adobe buildings, a power plant and a store, peaking at about 200 people. Coal production was choked off in the early 1930s, the railroad closed in 1933 and the mine in 1939.View source →
