An Arnold Planing Mill Photograph

Arnold Mill circa 1910

The Arnold Planing Mill was situated at the intersection Mill and South Weatherlow Streets, Susanville. You can  read about its the history here. 

When it was destroyed by fire in 1915, due to its picturesque setting at the time it was believed the most photographed landmark of the Susanville vicinity. Recently, I located the above photograph. It caught my attention because of the angle it was taken. One can see the sawdust piles on the right side of the mill.

This photograph was taken by Herman Brince. This is unique since the Susanville Grammar School appears, many people may know the location as the Washington School and later Credence.

  1. ‘Morning, Tim-

    Great photos! I have never seen this one with the school in the background. I always thought the Washington School was there on South St attached to the Roosevelt Pool. If Washington is in this photo, which school was that on South St?
