The old smelter was cleaned up nicely, but there are other Tahawus club/ reused NL houses that are in better shape. None of these houses except the Mcnaughton cottage are from the old Adirondak era, they are all Sportsmen's club stuff initially reused by NL before they built there own company village on Sanford Lake. I just don't see much being left after resto. Interesting story; My dad talked to a woman in FL who was born in that house; and a guy emailed me who grew up in the Tahawus ville before that became a pit and hiked the six miles to the old housing at Adirondak for his first date with his current wife; cool stuff.

Upon it's first abandonment, in the 1860's, The pit they were working was still at the Sanford lake/ Lake sally location. One old timer who lived in the NL Tahawus village stated that the real early location was at Lake Sally (thus the wooden rail road). He said that the Mac cottage was just an extension of the Tahawus club (the lodge at the lower works is still extant, and owned). Several floods, several dam washouts have left the history unclear, even after reading the 1920's book "story of Adirondac". In fact the original mag separator was dug up by crews excavating the first pit for NL. Or was it? In the early part of the twentieth century, the company retried testing ore coming from the Sanford Lake area, complete with a separation plant. So who knows. All I know is that if you poke around enough you find tons of buried gears and cogs and cable. Is it from the first abandonment or the second. Most convoluted history I've see. The only clear edifice is the smelter, of which there were two. It always amazes me that something pre civil war remains to this day; and people were exploring it in the 19th century!
