"Main Street"
This photograph, taken in 1962 is a picture of what International Salt Co. workers deemed “Main Street.” It was given the name due to its utility as the main corridor for entering and exiting the mine. At 1,800 feet below the surface this particular street was 40 feet wide and 30 feet high, making it an ideal location to reassemble heavy machinery that was sent down the elevator shaft to extract rock salt under Lake Erie.
