Together they represent important improvements in coal mine safety and efficiency. They are also significant as reflections of the last wave of capital improvements in tunnel mining before the industry shift to surface, pit, and strip coal mining. The belt-driven Aerodyne-type fan sat above a bricklined vertical mine entrance where it could force air into the mines below. The powerhouse was erected as a shop for the manufacture, repair, and transportation of ore carts for use in the mine.Item Evaluation of Resources: Upper Penninsula Zone 1630-1830(1990) Herman, Bernard L.; Van Balgooy, Max; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.Item National Register Of Historic Places Eligibility Evaluation: Baltimore Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware(1990) Mulchahey, Susan A.; Siders, Rebecca J.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.; Zeigler, Nancy K.; Herman, Bernard L.Item "Both Ornamental and Useful": The Lancaster County Almshouse and Hospital(Center for Historic Architecture and Design, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 1990-02) Bourque, Monique; Herman, Bernard; Siders, Rebecca; Zeigler, NancyThe documentation of the Lancaster County Almshouse and Hospital was funded by a gift from the Edward Hand Medical Heritage Foundation to the Delaware Valley Threatened Buildings Survey at the University of Delaware. The research and documentation was conducted by a team from the Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, College of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, University of Delaware. Fieldwork, measured drawings, and architectural analysis were completed during the summer of 1989 by Dr. Bernard L. Herman, Nancy Zeigler, and Gabrielle Lanier. Large-format photographs for the Historic American Buildings Survey documentation were taken by Dr. David L. Ames. Research into the daily activities, conditions of life, and general policies of the almshouse was conducted by Nancy Zeigler and Monique Bourque in the fall of 1989.
