The Old Mill circa 1908

Old Mill, PM 1908
(Click on images to enlarge)

Another recent Ebay acquisition, a postcard postmarked 1908. I think this photo is the basis for the colorized version on the Downtown Hobart site. Coloring a photo makes it more vibrant but also can obscure some details. In this case, the large building on the west side of Lake George is a little clearer in the black-and-white version. Not clear enough, since I still can't tell what it is. An ice house, maybe?

Cute message on the reverse:
