Architectural Description

For description see National Register application: http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NRHP/Text/00001454.pdf This 55' x 25' kiln far exceeds in size the earlier extant kilns in the state. The roughly coursed rubble walls incorporate many large boulders. Iron tie-rods terminating in cast-iron plates formerly bound the walls, but the timbers against which they bore have rotted away. The two hearths, each with an arched opening consisting of our courses of brick, rise 9 1/2' at center and span 15'. Masses of fused lime plug the vent openings to the chimney in the south hearth; fallen stone has filled the vents in the north hearth. Atop the kiln can be seen two round chimney openings filled with rock, earth and weeds. (Roth)
