The trees at the end of the road in the distance stand at Fairmount Rd., pictured above. In the foreground, formerly a narrow lane is S. Park Blvd. On the ridge above the Blvd. at the right stood the old woolen mill, and near this at the right of Lee Rd. (at center) stood the Center Family blacksmith shop, n.w. of the woolen mill.
