Morgan Lumber and Cedar Company sawmill (2 of 2)

Morgan Lumber & Cedar Company, Foster City, Dickinson County, Michigan, ca. 1910: This unused real photo postcard view identified as “Sawmill, Foster City, Mich.” probably dates to about 1910. Taken from across the millpond, this photograph gives an overall view of the Morgan Lumber & Cedar Company’s sawmill complex. The white building just to the left of center bearing the company name was the company store. The sawmill itself, complete with the silo-like sawdust burner, can be seen at the right. The large residence directly above the company store housed the superintendent, while the boardinghouse to the right sheltered many employees. [William J.
