Description
Photograph of Robert's Mill, ca.1900. A darkly colored building with four stories stands to the right of center on a grassy field. Two smokestacks protrude out of the building on the right while a conveyer extends out of the side of the building. The conveyer slants to the ground where it leads into a pool of water covered in floating logs. The still body of water floats to the center where it melds into the grass. To the left, a railroad track winds through the foreground and into the middle ground where it goes between stacks wood. Buildings stand behind the large field of wood stacks while houses can be seen in the background and mountains are visible in the distance. The sky above is full of fluffy white clouds.
