There are actually two stone structures that I know of (three if you count the power plant).  There is one near either end of the canyon.  The one on the west end is high on the South ridge and may be ancient (not very big).  The other is a little west of the freeway bridge over the railroad tracks (still on the south side) and is a larger dwelling (built in the last 100 years) but fairly impressive and still water tight I think?  There also was a home built high above the Strawberry mine on the ridge during the war so that guards could see all the way down Weber Canyon to South Weber and watch for sabotage during the war (I think that this home was stick framed).  The rail line and road through Weber Canyon was the only direct, continuous,  link we had from the east to the west coast--thus the Transcontinental Highway (or Old Highway as the remaining remnants are called today).  A well set explosion in Weber Canyon could have crippled our defenses.  A bunch of old rusty nails is about all that remains of this home and a good flat spot for a deer hunting camp.  There is also a scam uranium mine above the Strawberry mine and also a vertical shaft Spanish Gold mine is you want to hike clear to the top above Smith Creek.  PS.  I thing that 'remaining remnants' is redundant?  Oh well.
