The Dalles Mint, Unfinished mint building in The Dalles, United States.
The granite structure stands 35 feet tall with a flat roof, arched windows, and measures 50 feet by 60 feet at its foundation level.
Congress authorized construction of a branch mint in The Dalles on July 4, 1864, to process gold from Eastern Oregon mines during regional mining operations.
The building reflects the economic aspirations of the Pacific Northwest during the 1860s gold rush period, when raw gold required processing into usable currency.
Located near downtown The Dalles, the structure now houses Freebridge Brewing after multiple transformations from its original intended purpose as a mint.
Construction halted at the first floor in 1870, leaving the planned second story and dome permanently unrealized despite the federal investment of 105,000 dollars.
