Looks like Hoppys sawmill In Irasburg which burned in the early 80’s

The sawmill in the background burned in April 1998, not in the 80's. My Father, Robert Williams, purchased and ran this mill from 1982-1997. It was called the Black River Lumber Co. then. Dad was one in a long line of mill operators/owners. It's cool to think that most of the barns/homes you are looking at from this area were probably milled out right there.
