Calumet & Hecla Mining Company began to develop the Ahmeek Mine in 1907 and commissioned this building from Paul Macneil the following year. The office is located between the residential area in Ahmeek Location and the mine shaft. The brick building with sandstone trim is the only masonry building in the area. It is one-and-a-half stories tall with a hipped roof and hipped dormers. There is a small entrance portico. Windows in the front of the building are tripled. On the left side, interrupting the symmetry of the building, is a wing containing the pay window and vault. In the right front corner of the building was the superintendent\u2019s office. Diagonally opposite was the chief clerk\u2019s office, with a glass partition so that he could oversee the counting room in the left front.1<\/sup><\/p>\n
