7. Genola, Utah’s Titanic Standard Reduction Mill
Place: Genola, Utah
Year: 1920

Though it was constructed in 1920, the Tintic Standard Reduction Mill wasn’t put to use until 1925. The refinery is now closed and discouraged from being visited because to the high concentrations of lead and arsenic, two poisons that are fatal to humans.

This mill, set into the side of a mountain, used to be rather productive, handling 200 tons of ore a day. Despite this, the owners were unable to maintain it for a variety of reasons, and as a result, it has turned into a hovel that is stocked with poisons and abandoned mining equipment.
