Heine boiler installation

Description

This photograph shows the Heine boiler installation in progress at the main boiler house. Note the large, rounded hole that was broken out of the brick wall so that these boilers could be moved inside the building. There will eventually be twenty boilers (ten on each side of the boiler room) installed over brick furnaces. 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.
