Description
Photograph of an unidentified lumber yard, showing the beginning of a flume, ca.1930. The foreground is covered in wooden logs floating on water. In the center, a darkly colored building can be seen spitting out logs down a conveyer that runs from the second floor to the water on the ground. A man stands with a long pole at the edge of the water to the left while four smokestacks can be seen to the left of center.
