View of the second Sagola Lumber Company sawmill
Abstract/Description: | Second Sagola Lumber Company Sawmill with Stockpiled Logs and Men Unloading Ice, Sagola, ca. 1911-1915: This postcard view was taken sometime after the second Sagola Lumber Company sawmill began operating March 28, 1911. It replaced the original sawmill which was struck by lightning on the evening of September 11, 1910. A fire which began in the cupola soon engulfed the entire structure. The men in the foreground are unloading blocks of ice from flatcars at the company store. Note the immense piles of huge logs awaiting their trip through the mill to be converted into lumber. [Dr. John Newkirk] |
