The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The kilns were reportedly fired only a few times, and have lain abandoned for some 140 years.
- They were apparently abandoned no later than 1855 after only a few firings, probably due to the poor quality, small limestone deposits and the financial depression of that year.
- They represent a Gold Rush era effort to establish a lime-producing industry in Marin County, only two years after cession of Alta California to the United States by Mexico.
Why it is Common
