Colourizing E. L. Moore's Molasses Mine

I was rummaging around the internet and came across Algorithma's Colorization page. I've wanted to try colourizing E. L. Moore's old photos so I gave it a try with some scans of his old B&W photos. Over there shows how the algorithm colourized the Molasses Mine. And down below is my photo of the Molasses Mine when I saw it up close and personal.

The colourization doesn't look too bad if one doesn't know what the original looked like. Although, it makes me wonder if the algorithm could be calibrated using photos of the actual models, maybe it could colourize the old, E. L. Moore photos to a state more like they actually were. Another thing I need to look into.
