The shed is part of the Copper Globe Mine, an early twentieth-century copper mine that exists in an area better known for Cold War-era uranium mining. Description: The shed is a wooden building approximately 10 X 8 . It faces east- southeast. The walls and roof of the shed are made from wood and sheet metal. Just behind the shed is a vertical mine shaft, likely the main mine shaft for the Fugates, who originally worked the mine. The proximity of the shed to the shaft means the shed was not only used to store tools and supplies but possibly once housed a winch to haul the ore out of the mine.
