Unidentified lumber yard
Title
Unidentified lumber yard
Description
Black and white image of a large lumber yard, showing a covered saw area with mostly open sides. A horse team is just visible in the lower center of the image, and a rail car with cut logs sits just to the right of the center image. Power lines lead to poles near the building, and smoke can be seen coming out of the four smokestacks visible on the roof of a building in the rear of the image. Several men in the lower left of the image handle what appear to be large planks. Though tentatively identified as in Hillsboro, the specific location of this mill is unknown. There were a number of sawmills in Washington County, which remained heavily forested and largely rural away from the valley plain. This image is part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who also collected photographs and negatives other photographers had taken around the area.
