Aberdeen, looking south down Broadway, the Anderson & Middleton lumber mill at foot of street. Thanks to Terri Middleton for providing information.
Additional thanks to Middleton, who notes: "Broadway, one of Aberdeen's widest streets, was built specifically to ferry workers to the Weatherwax lumber mill (Anderson & Middleton at the time of the photo) at the foot of the street on the Chehalis River and back home again. Market Street, Aberdeen's other wide street, was built for the same reason but for American Mill further up the river. Both mills were in operation in the late 1880's when most of the area was still covered in timber and Aberdeen's population was fewer than 1500."
