Calumet & Hecla's location away from distant manufacturing centers required the company to be self-reliant. The pattern shop is located in the center of Calumet’s industrial core. The building is a large single-story structure made from yellow brick with a shallow-pitched gabled roof. Originally the building was divided in the center to house both a pattern workshop and warehouse. Here, skilled workers crafted patterns used in the foundry to cast needed parts or tools. The pattern shop is now home to Coppertown USA Mining Museum.
