    Hi Jerry,
    This photo is the boiler house that used to serve the mill. It's
    right where Walgreens is now. On cold winter nights, in the 60's I'd
    have to walk home from downtown and it was very late at night. The first
    stop was the Homestyle Bakery where I'd get a fresh chocolate covered
    doughnut. The next stop would be in the boiler house. You could enter in
    the front, from Main Street, and walk through past all the old, huge,
    boilers to get to the back door, exiting on Elm Street. Just long enough
    to warm up for the rest of the journey home in the Southwest end of
    town
