Calumet and Hecla Industrial District
Calumet and Hecla Industrial District, Mining district in Calumet, Michigan, US.
The Calumet and Hecla Industrial District encompasses buildings along railroad tracks connecting separate mine heads above a copper lode in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Alexander Agassiz took control of the mining operations in 1867, transforming the district into a facility that produced over half of the United States copper by 1870.
The district includes ten primary structures, including a machine shop, roundhouse, and general office building, representing the evolution of industrial architecture from 1880 to 1910.
The district forms part of the Keweenaw National Historical Park, with the general office building now serving as the park headquarters for visitor information.
The roundhouse features twelve train stalls arranged in a 170-degree arc around a central turntable, demonstrating the scale of railway operations at this mining facility.
