[6] Iron County also contains several small "Junctions," such as Beechwood, and mining locations, such as Mansfield, that consist of a handful of residences grouped together.

[14] The Crystal Inn is a three-story, Georgian Revival structure sheathed in bichrome brick accented with sandstone window sills and belt courses.

[12] It is built in a U-shape, with balanced massing and fenestration; the hotel has a wooden cornice, and an arcade-like first floor with Tuscan columns and a stained glass frieze near the entrance.

In spite of these cosmetic changes, the Falls Location Historic District is significant as a cohesive late 19th-century settlement of log dwellings, one of only three left in Iron County.

[21] It is an unusual vernacular interpretation of the Queen Anne style, having a prominent octagonal turret with a steep roof, and three shingled dormers, along with a large open wraparound porch.

[24] Their daughter Maude (or Minnie)[23] later married Timothy Murphy, the Stambaugh railroad depot superintendent, and the couple moved into the house and raised their three children there.

[30] The house was constructed in 1888 for William Russell, an early Crystal Falls businessman who owned a saloon and horse stable and worked as a contractor.

[32] The house is built in Queen Anne style, with a steeply pitched roof, bay window, gable returns and narrow clapboard siding.

The house is sheathed in glazed brick, and has a Tudor arch doorway, stuccoed gable ends with exposed timbering, and a faux thatch roof of cedar shingles and large, eyelid dormers.

[37] The attic corners have gable returns, and a porch supported by wooden Tuscan colonnettes runs the full width of the front facade.

Hanna Mining Company Office Building is a large, symmetrical, two-story, Classical Revival brick structure with a projecting stone-trimmed front entrance.

Even after the beginning of Prohibition, the Scalcucci family continued to produce wine, using a loophole in the Volstead Act that allowed them to the ill-defined "non-intoxicating cider and fruit juice exclusively for home use.

Dr. Sturgeon worked as a physician for local mining companies, ran his own private practice, and helped found the first hospital in Iron River.

Although Stambaugh suffered during the Great Depression along with other Iron County communities, it contained a number of valuable mining properties on its tax rolls, and was able to keep financially stable.

The Superintendent's House is a two-story Colonial Revival structure with a symmetrical facade with composite columns flanking the elliptically arched, fanlight-and-sidelight entrance.

It sits on a fieldstone foundation, and has a gently sloped gable roof with a prominent gable-roofed wall dormer and a front porch running half the length of the building.

The house has stucco walls, several leaded glass windows, wide porch eaves, and heavy pier supports with applied triglyph capitals.

[69] The Nelson A. Holmes farmhouse sits on a low open hill near other farm buildings, including a wellshed, chicken coop, and summer kitchen.

It is a two-story, cross-gable house with clapboard siding, patterned shingling in the gables, stained glass transom windows, and a wraparound front porch with Tuscan columns.

The Swanson House is a two-story frame, hipped roof, American foursquare structure with a full-length front porch and attic dormer.

[80] Eventually the small settlements merged;[80] the resulting community was known by a variety of names, but by 1913 the entire area was designated "Caspian," after the most productive of the surrounding mines.

It was later purchased by the Caspian Athletic Association,[81] and is still used as a community center, offering play areas and meeting rooms for local youth groups.

[83] Pickands-Mather Company, the operator of the Caspian, eventually deeded the headframe, engine house, and the surrounding 5.5 acres to the Iron County Historical and Museum Society.

The district includes the township hall, a railroad depot, a church, four bars, a senior citizen's center, a lumber company office, three commercial structures, and one single-family residence.

A hipped roof porch with squared and turned columns runs the full length of the house, and a lean-to addition is located in the rear.

They planned to convert the church's main floor into a museum, retaining the original altar, apse and pews, along with a portion of the space for events like weddings or funerals.

Inside, the cabin has four rooms, with fieldstone chimneys and intricate decorative work, including hand-carved light fixtures and a lattice-work stairway built from tree roots by local wood carver Frank Ranwick.

The camp was constructed in 1921 by the Van Platen - Fox Lumber Company, who used it as a base for harvesting hardwoods and transporting them to the rail line 2½ miles away.

[112] The four frame structures from the original 1921 Van Platen - Fox Lumber Camp are similar single-story buildings with gabled roofs and vertical pine plank siding.

It served as country store, post office, and the social center of Beechwood, a small Swedish settlement later absorbed into Iron River.
