Description |
J. T. Rathbun's kiln, far from any population center, was probably used for a short while only to produce lime for local consumption in cement, mortar, plaster, etc. On the side of a steep slope, the loose talus around the kiln has reached an angle of repose that has completely buried the base, flue and lower firing chamber of the kiln. Only the fragile stack of this 1878 kiln is exposed. |
