The front of one of the lime kilns at Bayview, Idaho. The majority of the kiln is stacked natural rock. The oven is lined with old brick and set back into the main structure. The outer wooden doors were added after the kiln was not in use to keep curious people out of the main oven. In this picture you can see the inner door of the oven. Courtesy of Mary Garrison.
