Summary
View looking north. Southeast end of Roundhouse is to left. Planing Mill (situated east to west) is at rear. Powerhouse is at center. Concrete walls of Blacksmith Shop are at right. A jib crane is at center. The brick Blacksmith Shop was constructed in 1870. In 1927 the south portion of the Blacksmith Shop was widened and rebuilt. This view probably dates from 1939 when the north end was widened to align with the 1927 remodel and the walls were covered with concrete.
