This view of the old lumber mill at Shaver Lake was taken in October 1920. By this time, it was owned by the Edison Company, and was nearing the end of its operations. Prior to being dismantled to make way for the new Shaver Lake reservoir, the mill cut much of the form lumber used in the construction of Power House #8.
