Boiler house building under construction

Description

This view to the southeast shows the extract plant’s boiler house building under construction in the spring of 1907. The tall soda digester house on the left appears to be finished. Written on the photograph is Lewis; Canton, N.C. This photograph is part of the Alan & Stephen Sellars Collection, a collection of photographs depicting the construction of the Champion Fibre Company paper mill in Canton, North Carolina. The mill, under construction from 1905 until 1908, was, for a time, the largest paper mill in the world. Much of the description information came from Carroll C. Jones and his book “Thomson’s Pulp Mill: Building the Champion Fibre Company at Canton, North Carolina – 1905 to 1908” where more details can be found.
