PURSGLOVE


The Cleveland and Morgantown Coal Company's Pursglove No. 2 mine was in the Sewickley seam of coal. Shown here is the No. 2 cleaning plant, related buildings, and coal camp houses for that mine. (Farm Security Administration photo)


The cleaning plant and most of the coal camp are gone today, but these auxillary structures that were up on the hill behind the plant remain.


This old boiler is still in one of the buildings.


The Pursglove No. 1 mine was in the Pittsburgh seam. Later Christopher Coal Co. mined the Pittsburgh seam here and named it their No. 15 mine. CONSOL was the final operator of the Pursglove No. 15 mine, and, although the mine is defunct, they have allowed these shop buildings from that mine to remain. They are probably using them for some kind of storage.


Few company houses remain in the Pursglove vacinity.
