I thought folks might enjoy a walk down memory lane - although I don't think there is anyone in town old enough to remember 1915. For those who don't know our history, the former copper smelter at the bottom of hill went through a major upgrade shortly after it was purchased by the Guggenheim mining empire. These are a few of the engineering photos from that project....

Wow! Amazing photos! It's hard enough to imagine what it would take to build something like that today let alone 100 years ago!
It was easier 100 years ago. You went out and "just did it!" Something like that doesn't get built today. Even if the market conditions warranted it, the socio/political climate would be way too great an obstacle.
Yes it would! Can you imagine building a hotel on the water front in todays political climate.
