Description

Photograph of a shafthouse of the Sherman Mine in Placerville, ca.1930. The bottom of the triangular structure at center is skeletal while panels cover the top half. Another lightly-colored structure can be seen just behind the structure and extending to the left. While poles and other supplies sit in piles against the tall structure on the right, a man in a suit and hat lean on a post and look towards the trees on the right. More supplies and debris are scattered on the ground on the right and in the foreground while trees and bushes cover the small hill around the shafthouse. "Shafthouse of the Sherman Mine perched high up on the hillside overlooking the town".
