Row Houses

These are the row houses that were built by the mining company to be used as living quarters by mine employees and their families. When the mines were in operation, only families with at least one member employed in the mines could live in these homes. If that family member ended his employment in the mines (usually due to his death or disablement on the job), the family was forced out of their home. When Republic Steel Corporation abandoned its Lyon Mountain facility, the company sold these homes to residents of Lyon Mountain.
