Re: Parking in Central City and Blackhawk

It could be that it might be a fools errand, but the C&S Depot was built after the Hooper Brickyard closed, so there is a greater possiblility of the walls having survived using a high fired brick from Denver, I believe.

I remember when a front end loader was grading out what used to be the "Free Parking" lot, which was the old Chain O'Mines tailings pile, a bunch of dirt slid away under the former eaves on the Passenger side of the depot. So I know that there is still something under there. Of course, that was back around 1972. There was also some red dirt turned up during one grading, the thinking was that it might have been the chimney tops.
