Hartley Shaft - Part of the Robena Mine, Carmichaels, PA.

The remains of the Hartley Shaft of Robena Mine are located right off the side of Ceylon Road. The groundclearing for this shaft begain around 1943 and all buildings were completed around 1948/1949. The offices and bath house were located on the left. Attached to the bath house by a shed-type roof was waiting arean and enclosed elevated walkway that led to the elevator. The two buildings to the right housed 2 MG sets (in the left side) and the other housed the switch gear for incoming AC power.



The building on the right, now.
