1906 cannot be correct date, compare with – #.0329 where all buildings appear to be new. Whereas the buildings (including additions) appear to be in a state of decline.

Bartholomew’s sawmill, Makahika Valley, 1906. This is the same sawmill as shown in 2000.018.0329, however some buildings have been added to the site which do not appear in the previous picture.
