Keystone No.1
The Keystone No. 1 mine produced for 94 years before shutting their doors in 1986. Here, one of the structures at the coal prep plant slowly rusts away into history.
The surrounding town of Keystone, WV has been in steep decline since the mines closure. However the town, from what I have read, never really was much of a place you would want to raise a family. A portion of the town center was called "Cinder Bottom", a notoriously violent and lawless red light district.
