The short row of scratch-built company houses I originally posted a week
ago have all been refinished to reflect the stark similarity that would
have been evident when the Copper smelter was a going concern, and
before the houses were sold into private ownership.
As was the case with the copper smelting complex itself, it was not my intent to faithfully duplicate the original buildings of the Quincy Smelter, but to rather use them as the inspiration for my interpretation. As such. I designed these
three structures as an amalgam of the two prototypes shown in the historical images below.
All will be outfitted with privies out back
and their foundations will be planted into the hillside, with steps
added up to the front porches. It's time to give them a rest and onto
something different.
