Construction Advances On Mason City Tile Plant Site
Ancient notes describe engineers from the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul and the Chicago Great Western marking lines for new rails on a five acre tract of 100 acres. Nelson Construction, Mason City, arrives with foremen to finish the plant, referencing prior large projects. A large wooden dining hall for workers is built with a coal stove, belts and hooks for meals, and a setup to heat and dry bricks. The project includes wide trenches, brick and cement arched tunnels, a main tunnel with a four foot width, and a system to generate hot air from kilns via electrically driven fans. The facility aims for 62,500 square feet of space and a daily tile capacity of 100,000.
