Anyone familliar with swoyersville probally knows about the structure which i believe is a tipple at the top of brook street. I have a map from 1887 ofthe area showing the location of several mine workings in the area. is this part of the Homestead colliery? the map shows a breaker there but no tipple as well as a drift in the area. it appars as though there was 1 drift with 1 set of tracks going to the breaker from the drift. The workings are small as well and described o the map as "old workings" mabee going in a few hundered feet if that.
