Description

A black and white photograph of Forbes Mill, as it looked in the late 1880s when it was operated as the Los Gatos Manufacturing Company. Only the top of the mill from the south side is visible through the leaves of numerous trees. There is part of another structure visible along the right edge of the image. The photograph is most likely an enlargement, and there is a white border around the entire image.
