LINKINHORNE SX 27 SE 6/22 Houseman's Shaft Engine House - at South Phoenix Mine II Engine house with attached chimney at South Phoenix copper mine. Mid C19. Granite rubble with granite quoins and brick dressings. Plan: Rectangular plan engine house, with bob wall at one gable end and attached chimney at the opposite gable end. Gable end with bob opening, also has 2 round-arched openings at upper level with brick dressings, and a brick chimney stacks at the apex of the gable. The right side has openings at first and second floors, with timber lintels, and an upper opening with a round brick arch. Left side the same. The rear gable end has a wide opening with timber lintel at ground, first and second floor; attached circular plan chimney, in rubble, tapered, with brick top and cornice. South Phoenix was re-started for copper in 1847 and, equipped with a 28 inch rotary engine, was down to 120 fathoms by 1854. It does not appear to have been a financial success, except perhaps in the initial years. In 1870, the growing richness of Phoenix United in the north started yet another re-working to explore the deep tin propects.
