Title: Lumber Mill fire possibly BC or Alberta July 9 1894
Post by: mcadamsd on Monday 02 July 18 16:05 BST (UK)

Attached image is of a lumber mill that apparently burned down  July 9 1894.

We assume this mill was supplying lumber for CPR operations possibly in Alberta or BC.

However, the relatives also worked in Washington state on railroad bridges and their location in 1894 is unknown.

The name D. McKinnon is written on back of image.

No photographer is listed.

A search for D. McKinnon finds nothing linked to the image
