Notes
  • Significance: Built by the Rare Metals Corporation in 1927, this Skinner Roaster is the Naturita Mill's oldest remaining structure, and is the only extant structure that predates VCA's acquisition of the facility in the mid-1930s. Moreover, it and the other remaining roaster (Structure G) are among only four extant structures that remain from the uranium and vanadium milling process that operated 1947-1958. Earlier, between ca. 1939 and 1947 this roaster was used in a vanadium only milling process...
