Huber Coal Breaker
Also known as the Ashley breaker, it is located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Built in 1892, it once employed seven thousand to ten thousand workers. Towards the end of its life, the anthracite coal was renamed "blue coal" and was differentiated from its competitors by its blue color (dyed its trademark color at the breaker).
