Lower falls on Whatcom Creek

Photocopy of newspaper article and picture with caption "Lower Falls as They Appeared in 1883" Two buildings - a house and a shop - next to a waterfall and rushing stream with a footbridge over it. The article below the photo says: "When the Colony had built its mill and practically the same view as that older one including the sloop Undine. The company shop and office have been put up, and the log footbridge replaced by one more permanent. Mr. Ransom's cottage is beside the falls, and the steps leading up to the trail to Sehome are quite plain. The piling and old foundation shown is all that remained of the original mill, built in 1853, thirty years before this picture was taken." Faintly visible on lower left in photo: "...Creek Falls, Whatcom" The Washington Colony Mill was established in 1853 by Roeder and Peabody on the site below lower Whatcom Falls on Whatcom Creek below today's (2011) post office. In 1895 George and James Loggie bought the mill and renamed it Whatcom Falls Mill.
