To build the town and mine support facilities Bog Looney Creek was rerouted and over one mile was walled with local quarried native sandstone.
Among the structures chronicled here, the coal company constructed six miles of concrete paved streets, fifty miles of water lines, power lines, and one of the largest company stores in the world. Also included were a hospital, 120 room hotel, bank, post office, and elementary and high schools. One thousand homes were served by out houses, and each connected to a central sewage system disposal plant.
At its peak city had over 10,000 residents at one time.
