Here are the rest of the Lava Pump House photos.

It may be hard to see, but there is a section of exposed pipe, about 20 feet, at one o'clock position in this photo. It appears to be white.

This photo shows the pump house roof on the river side.

This photo shows the opposite side that is in much better condition. Speculation is that this side had less exposure to the sun; therefore, it had less damage from the "thaw-freeze" cycle than the other side. At one time in the past, metal sheeting was installed on the roof to deter the deterioration and within several months, someone decided they needed the metal sheeting worse than the pump house - so they stole it!

TL Jim Herron and Doug Christiansen are inside the pump house, discussing why something was moved in the past.
100.JPG
This photo shows some of the excellent original masonry pointing still intact after 130 years.

A different type of stone was used to frame the door and windows.
102.JPG
It appears there were heavy duty shutters on the outside. The hinge shown runs through the wall and is bolted from the inside of the pump house. The walls are a good foot thick!
107.JPG
This photo of the pump house was taken looking toward the river.
108.JPG
Team Leader Jim Herron and Doug Christiansen stand where a log bunkhouse used to be. This was for the workers who ran the pump house. The stones indicate it was a small structure so there were probably only a couple of workers who lived there at the time.

This photo shows the diesel storage tank. There is as much below-ground as above-ground, so I would guess the tank size is probably 1,000 gallons.
