During the construction of the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway, Mock was home to a labor camp for Italian laborers, contracted by Gabriel Ballante, to blast through basalt and build the railway. In 1906, the Italian laborers built a pair of rock ovens along the railway line to bake bread for sustenance during their labor. The rock ovens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. (en) |
