The Bridgeport Mill was built in 1830 by Jacob S. Shoemaker, and later sold to Elias Eby and Barnabas Devitt. It was destroyed by fire in 1970.
Photographer and date unknown. Probable date believed to be around 1916, since the label on the back of the frame states Berlin, ON. Berlin officially became Kitchener in September 1916.
Photo is in fair condition, but it is beginning to ripple under the glass. Decorated wooden frame is worn around corners.
