Miners Union Hall Demolition Underway in City
Wreckers began demolishing the old Miners Union hall on North Main Street soon after the building was dynamited and partly destroyed by a mob on July 2, 1914. The shell had been an eyesore, condemned by the fire department, and the city council ordered the rest torn down. The hall once housed the Western Federation of Miners and served as a social center with a famed dance floor. A. J. Hilda holds the contract to raze and will remove the roof and brick walls before hiding remaining stone work behind a fence.
