View of the Dontigny Mill

A postcard with a series of wood and brick houses in the foreground and a lumber mill in the background, separated by a river.

Taken from the old post office, now the Arnprior and District Museum; Arnprior and District Museum Collection: 1995.24.03

Sent from Arnprior to Ottawa in 1913, this post card illustrates the McLachlin Brothers’ lumber yards along the Madawaska River. In the foreground of the lumber mill, perhaps unintentionally, the Dontigny Mill, with the monitor-style roof, is featured.
