Interior view

INTERIOR VIEW OF HILLMAN FAN HOUSE LOOKING SOUTHEAST This view of the north airway shows the shaft support, bracing, and shaft coupling of the 1883 Guibal fan. The shaft was direct connected to the steam engine. Behind the circular brickwork are the cast iron spiders to which the supports for the wooden paddles are attached. One of the ten feet by eleven feet paddles is visible above the shaft in the center of the photo. Remnants of the catwalk, under the shaft, lead to the inner door of the catwalk. The catwalk was used by the men who oiled the shaft bearings.
