Looking up into the Forbes Road patch, which housed the miners of Jamison Coal and Coke Company's No. 3 coal mine and coke ovens.
The machine shop and bath house are still in existence at Forbes Road, PA. Jamison No. 3 mine was opened into the Greensburg Basin of the Pittsburgh seam in 1900
and operated for over 50 years.
