The first floor of the two-story Beaux Arts-style building was a post office and the second floor was devoted to the activities of the U.S. Bureau of Mines and a local mine rescue organization serving the coal mining region around Jellico.[2] Mine rescue stations were outfitted with equipment needed to respond to underground mining accidents and served as sites for conducting training of local mining personnel.[3][5] Congressman Richard Wilson Austin, who represented the area in the U.S. House of Representatives, was credited with obtaining authorization for the building's construction, which cost about $80,000 (equivalent to about ${{inflation|US|80000|1915|r=-5|fmt=c}} today).[2] Design of the building was by the Office of the Supervising Architect; design work was started by James Knox Taylor and completed by Oscar Wenderoth.[7] It was built in 1915 and dedicated the following year.[3][5] The building was considered to be unusually fine for a small town like Jellico.[2] A contemporary account suggested that it might be characterized as "government pork".[2] The facilities for the Bureau of Mines were described as the "best ... hitherto given to this organization". In addition to offices, a lecture hall, and electrical connections for a "motion-picture machine",[2] these facilities included a smoke room, equipped with an exhaust fan, which was used in training miners in the use of breathing apparatus for mine rescues.[2][4] A similar combination post office and mine-rescue station was later built in Norton, Virginia. Norton is the only other U.S. community ever to have had a combined post office and mine-rescue station,[3][5] although one was proposed for Hazard, Kentucky.[4] References1. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=S4hNAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA641 |journal=Coal Age |date=April 8, 1916 |title=Jellico Mine-Rescue Station |volume=9 |issue=15 |pages=641–642}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i4hNAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA144 |title=Construction News |journal=Coal Age|volume=7|issue=3 |page=144 |date=January 16, 1915}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=t-osAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA8-PA34 |title=Public Building, Hazard, Kentucky: Statement of Mr. Van Manning, Director of the Bureau of Mines |date=April 21, 1916 |publisher=Subcommittee 3 of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, U.S. House of Representatives}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.jellico.com/mayor/121698.htm |title=From the Mayor's Desk.... |date=December 16, 1998 |newspaper=Jellico Advance Sentinel |first=John |last=Clifton}} The author was mayor of the city of Jellico. 7 : Beaux-Arts architecture in Tennessee|Buildings and structures in Campbell County, Tennessee|Government buildings completed in 1915|Government buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Tennessee|Mine safety|Post office buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Tennessee|National Register of Historic Places in Campbell County, Tennessee |
