Black and white photographic print of Tyson's Grist Mill (second building from left) and the one of the Clarksburg Woollen Mill buildings (third from left). This photograph is taken from the west side of the Beaver River looking east and likely taken before 1910, the year the woollen mill burnt down. The shed on the left has a bell tower which was used in times of fires. The building on the upper right is the house of C. M. Hartman, formerly the Tyson home.
