Work Description:
This shows the Hunter Building on the right with the two original bays and the word "Shops" above the door. The third bay is under construction. The original building was completed in 1908 (G.C. pg. 165) at a cost of $32,132 (G.C. pg. 218). The heating and power plant at left was completed May 1910. I have not been able to locate the year of construction of the 3rd bay of Hunter. Since the other Engineering building (1919) does not show at the right, this would put this picture between 1910 and 1919. The railroad tracks with overhead catenary for electric trains crosses in the foreground. The white box by the track to the right says "Fairbanks Standard" and is the scale for weighing the coal cars that came in on the railroad. On the near corner of the heating plant is a chute that is supported on ropes and a pulley which was probably to empty ashes from the boiler into a railroad car.
