Sawmill near Lake Winnebago
Image
Stereograph of a sawmill area and Lake Winnebago in the foreground. The square building with the "cupola" was the Revere House. A manuscript notation, very faded, on the original photograph reads: "Frome's (?) sawmill, July 6, 1871, F.R. Haskill." The directories of this period do not list a Frome, Frame, or any name that looks vaguely like this.
1871
