This stateside negative documents the Penacook Fibre Company mill in Penacook, New Hampshire, an industrial building dated by its cornerstone to 1836. The scorched chimney and damaged windows visible here indicate the aftermath of a fire, with a contractor's sign for 'Foster & Bamford' suggesting repair or demolition work was underway. Photographs like this, filed among wartime military negatives, illustrate how family and company archives often mixed home-front industrial and civilian imagery with overseas military photography.
