Panaca Summit kilns

Panaca Summit kilns
Used to make charcoal for smelting silver ore, in Pioche and Bullionville, Nevada, about 20 miles away. The kilns were charged with the local scrub, ignited, sealed almost completely, and allowed to smolder for about 30 days. The inserts show other views, including the interior, as well as an interpretive sign.
The kilns were in use till the 1890s, when the smelters in Bullionville shut down.

I believe the stonemasons here were Italian. The workmanship is extraordinary, especially for such a utilitarian structure.
