This is how I recall the building. The photo is taken looking south from the downhill, north side. As Irecall (from the late '50s) the mill was on the east end of what is nowthe Isle Royale National Park grounds. It was owned by Julia Slagg andI think Curt Eggleston, who was a member of our church, was the manager. When Lloyd was pastor of the Presbyterian church, which waslocated at the square, we frequently took walks down the street to thewaterfront. I believe that after the millceased operation Erickson Feed and Seed first opened their businessthere. The Hamar-Quandt building was further east, about where the rental units are located today.
