Tower Hill No. 2 Coal Mine (United States)


The mine is significant for the technical information that can be leaned from the site as a whole and for the engineering significance of the beehive and rectangular coke ovens that survive largely intact on the site. It operated between 1907 and the mid-1940s, the period of the Lower Cennelsville Coking Region's initial rise in prosperity, as well as its decline. The site grew and changed to accommodate technological innovations as well as economic realities during this turbulent period.
