Buildings at Kennicott were Unstable

This is a photo of a dangerously unstable outbuilding on the hillside next to the Kennicott concentration mill in the Wrangell-St. Elias, Alaska, during the summer of 1989. The following photo shows the same building one year later. I was shocked at how fast these historic structures are crumbling.

More tomorrow,
