10. Det eldste kontoret

Det eldste kontoret med oljehus ca. 1880 - 1902
Smie ca. 1910 og utover
Karbidbu 1927 - 1946

Fra ca. 1880 var dette kontor og lønningsbu. Der var luke for utbetaling av lønning. Arbeidarane stilte i kø utanfor luka. Lønningsbenken står her ennå. Bygningen er svart inni då den blei nytta som smie ein periode frå 1910. I 1914 kom karbidlampene. Kontoret blei då lagerbrakke for karbid til gruva stengde i 1946. «Oljehus» relaterer seg til oljen som blei bruka i dei gamle lampene fram til 1914.

The oldest office building 

Oil storage room 1880-1902
Smithy from 1902
Carbide storage room 1927-1946

From 1880 this was the general and wage payment office. Wages were paid through a hatch in the wall, with the mine workers standing in queue outside. The clerk's bench is still standing. The building was used as smithy from 1910, and is therefore black on the inside. When the carbide lamps arrived in 1910, the building became a storage building for carbide until the closing of the mine in 1946. Storage of oil relates to the oil used in the old mine lamps up to 1914.
