| Andy Zukowski posted Pryce Coal Mine located in Coal Valley, Illinois. In the center of the photograph, four men are sitting on the roof. November 22, 1917 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post The name Pryce was associated with a few mines in this area. But Index 3331 is dominated by Pryce and it is the only one with a date range that is consistent with 1917. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post I could not find any traces of a railroad for this mine on topo maps. By the late 1930s, evidence of the mine was gone. https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/rockisland/flight14/00rs161398.jpg |

The railroad appeared in a 1937 topo map, but it was missing in a 1949 map.
The rectangle a little west of the depot was probably a grain elevator because its shadow indicates that it was a tall building.
