Photograph of a view of the E.K. Lumber Company yard at Timm's Point, showing Dead Man's Island in the background, [s.d.]. A complex of warehouse buildings is pictured on a marshy extension of land just at the edge of the harbor. To the left, railroad cars can be seen hauling large boulders towards the foremost of the warehouses at left. In the right distance, the breakwater can be seen serpentining towards Dead Man's Island, while back at left, a building that appears to be a home is visible on the ridge behind the lumber yard.
