hought-provoking to see the gigantic structure at the far NE end of Canyon Diablo. In its day it would have been a Big Box Store. On one of the old hand drawn maps we have accessed, identifies it as Ayer’s Lumber Company. We are somewhat skeptical it was a Lumber Yard, after visiting the remains. In part it was Volz Trading Post, as it has a basement under one of the structures and a very large cistern to hold water. In addition there was an above ground water tower with a steam engine which could indicate a saw mill or a pump to access water from the canyon below. It is an impressive at 300’ long by 50’ wide stone structure with one historic upright wall of the structure remaining.
