Closer view of a vintage asbestos-cement shingle labeled as Johns-Manville "Transite"; made by H.W. Johns-Manville Company.
The labeled shingle sample measures 4" x 4" and shows numerous chrysotile asbestos fiber bundles around its edges and on its surface; label measures approx. 3-inches in diameter.
The product's label indicates the following information: "Made of Asbestos Fibre and Portland Cement moulded in one piece under hydraulic pressure--not in layers simply pressed together. Absolutely unaffected by fire, water, gases, heat or cold. Will not warp, split or crack. Practically indestructible. Furnished in sizes and shapes to meet all conditions and in natural grey, Indian red, and mottled brown".
The north facade of the Fireproof Building is on the right, and beyond it is the Chalmers Street entrance to Washington Park. Many cobblestone streets remain in Charleston, but Chalmers Street is the longest., extending from Meeting Street to State Street. The Old Slave Slave Mart Museum is at the far end, near State Street.
Closer view of a vintage, labeled Ambler Asbestos "Century" Shingle sample. The asbestos-cement shingle sample measures approx. 3" x 3" and contains product information and Underwriters' Laboratories labels, by Ambler Asbestos Shingle & Sheathing Company.
Some info on the label indicates the asbestos material's marketable attributes, such as: "Fire Proof", "Water Proof", and "Indestructible".
Historical marker in front of the Eureka County Courthouse, 10 South Main Street, Eureka, Nevada. The Nevada legislature created Eureka County in 1873. Officials renovated a former ice rink donated by Judge John O'Darrow to serve as the first county courthouse. A fortified jail and fireproof vault were added to the 40-by-100-foot wooden building located at the intersection of Main and Bateman Streets. After fire destroyed hundreds of buildings in the town of Eureka in 1879, officials became concerned about their wooden courthouse and accepted plans from George C. Costerisan for a more formidable structure. The county hired R. Ryland to construct the courthouse. He withdrew from the project shortly after the completion of the exterior, at which point Costerisan finished the interior. J.S. Whitton supervised the construction, and McNally and Hawkins of San Francisco provided the heating and plumbing. Construction of this two-story brick structure began in 1879 and was completed in 1880. The building was added to the already existing jail which remained in use through the 1980s. Construction of the courthouse cost $38,000. It was designed in a modest Italianate, turn-of-the-century style, but additional expenses for a vault and other fixtures brought the price to $50,000. The brick two-story structure measures 50-by-80-feet and stands fifty-one feet high. A second-floor balcony supported by brackets rests over the main entrance. Exterior accents include brick pilasters that rise to a metal-bracketed cornice, and a parapet wall with detailed brickwork. The large iron shutters adjacent to the windows and doors of the courthouse (and other buildings of the town) protected the windows from fires and other damages.
Interior details consist of an imported Spanish cedar judge's bench and balustrade and gilded accents throughout. Two of the original walk-in
safes are still useable. The doors are 6 inches thick iron with lovely summer scenes painted on them.The second-floor courtroom is recognized as the best preserved in Nevada. It measures forty-five square feet with a nineteen-foot high ceiling of pressed metal. A suspended gallery at the rear provides seating for one hundred. The semi-circular witness box placed in front of the judge's bench is distinctive because of its shape and its unusual location. When it was completed, it was the finest courthouse in the state of Nevada outside Virginia City. The building is one of two nineteenth-century Nevada courthouses still in use today; the other is the one located in Virginia City.
The two large bells in front of the courthouse were rung as fire alarms by two of Eureka's several volunteer fire companies. One was cast in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the other in San Francisco. Each bell was identified by its tone.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY COMMENTS!!!
What is Zonolite?
"Zonolite vermiculite is an inert, fireproof insulating material made by exposing the mica-like ore, vermiculite, to extreme heat. The raw vermiculite flakes contain about a million laminations per inch -- a tiny bit of moisture separating each layer. When temperatures of 2000 degrees [F] are applied to this ore the moisture turns into steam and “explodes” the flakes to about 15-times their original size, creating thousands of minute dead air spaces in each granule."
Today however, many agree that there is perhaps a more dreadful description of Zonolite.

Close-up view of an asbestos-containing, spray-applied acoustical ceiling treatment, showing the fibrous nature of the chrysotile material at an area subjected to localized damage. During the history of this building, its interior appearance was updated and numerous holes were made whereby hanger wires were installed directly through the friable asbestos ceiling material for suspending a "newer" ceiling tile grid system.

11 Story Fireproof Building One Block From Penn Station
High-percentage asbestos fireproofing dust and debris above suspended ceiling system in an occupied building. Such conditions may pose potential source of asbestos exposure to maintenance workers, trades personnel, and other building occupants.
Do you know what's above the ceiling where you work, reside, go to school, shop, worship, play, dine, etc....? Does your building have an asbestos survey?
King's Stanley is situated approximately two miles west of Stroud in the County of Gloucestershire, UK
Stanley Mill. Built in 1812 for the manufacture of woollen cloth. The main building was one of the first in England of "fireproof" construction, with iron columns.
1812 Present buildings begun
1813 Feb. Sold to Harris and Maclean for £8,655. Reference to new erected dyehouses, wool-lofts, woolstores, workshops, clothrooms, counting houses, etc. Canal accounts show delivery of stone, bricks, timber, iron and slates. Timber and some stone came from the Forest of Dean. The iron work was made by Benjamin Gibbons of the Earl of Dudley’s Level New Furnaces. This plant built in 1802-3 continued to run until 1954.
1824 First reference to a steam engine at Stanley.
1834 Maclean, Stephens and Co made superfine cloth and kerseymere.
1834. At Stanley, a steam engine of 40 hp. (bought from Boulton and Watt 1824) and 5 water wheels on a fall of 16 feet, equal to 200hp. The supply of water in summer was so irregular it caused interruptions in the work several hours a day.
All machinery considered dangerous was fenced off as far as was practicable. Hours worked, 11 to 12 and in some departments 13. No children under 9 were employed and very few under 10. The youngest, up to 12 or 13, were employed as piecers working up to 101/2 to 11 hours. The older ones worked 11 to 12 hours.
Refractory or disorderly children were dismissed.
1839. At Stanley, a steam engine of 50 hp. and 5 water wheels, 1 of 30hp. and 4 of 25 hp.
c. 1839 Sold to Nathaniel Marling for £27,000.
1854 Weaving shed built in front of main building, probably replacing an earlier building on the site.
1867 High pressure condensing engine installed.
1868 80hp. Turbine added.

Sebastian Spering Kresge house at 70 West Boston Blvd, Detroit by Meade and Hamilton of Cleveland (1914). Kresge based his empire which would eventually become K-Mart first out of the Kresge Building on the east side of Woodward, then the Kales Building on Adams, and then the art deco Kresge Administration building on Second at Cass park. Remarkably all three buildings and the family home remain in good condition.
Asbestos Inspection edition of "I Spy".
If viewed at closer range, much more detail is discernable. But, one point of this image is the situation where an asbestos material has been disturbed and debris tends to "blend" together with non-asbestos debris when attempting to inspect the debris. Most of the debris on the suspended metal air duct in this image, within a concrete block utility chase, started out as non-asbestos, but fragments of asbestos fireproofing fell into it after "accidental" disturbance.
Another point to consider about this condition is the factor that oftentimes even when small pieces of friable asbestos material can be found in larger porous debris accumulations, generally ALL of the debris materials are conservatively assumed to "contain" asbestos (or be designated as "asbestos-contaminated") and would necessitate proper cleaning/abatement.
Under certain strict regulatory interpretation, essentially once any of the friable debris (as depicted) has been assumed to contain asbestos material or bulk sampling has positively identified asbestos via lab analyses (by a properly licensed & accredited asbestos inspector and qualified laboratory) typically ALL of the pictured debris in this example would be treated as asbestos-contaminated, friable, regulated ACM.
It would also be considered extremely impractical (or virtually impossible) to identify and attempt to separate every tiny bit of asbestos-containing fragments, dust, particles, and microscopic grains from within this accumulation of contaminated rubble. Therefore, all of the debris material shown would conservatively be treated and subsequently removed as ACM.
Due to the nature of the disturbed friable ACM debris, even the air in its vicinity could also be considered asbestos-contaminated (perhaps with microscopical airborne asbestos fibers) especially if impacting the dry, crumbly debris materials through renovation/demolition construction activities. Consequently, depending upon the quantity and condition of the ACM debris, proper use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) around the materials and level of work area set-up, such as installation of a negative-pressure enclosure around the debris, might be required for cleanup (among other requirements).
