Description
The mill was constructed in 1893 know as Sheep Mountain Power House on the Crystal River 6 miles from Marble. Early engineers had built a dam across the river to force water down the vertical penstock onto a horizontal wheel, which drove an air compressor in the house. The air was used for operating machinery and fresh air within the Sheep Mountain and Bear Mountain Mines. The mills closed in 1917 and the compressor was shut down at that time.
