Rice Mill

from SMU Libraries Digital Collections

  This appears to be a photo taken with a simple panoramic camera such as the (recently introduced at the time) Kodak Panoram #1. The introduction of an amateur camera, which made a large negative that was contact printed from roll film would help better date this photo to 1899 or later I believe. (Find the size of the print to gauge the model of camera. ) The curving horizon is a distinctive feature, as is of course the wide aspect ratio and angle of view, probably 144 degrees wide. Lovely photo, amazing collection, so wonderful that it is being shared and archived so extensively.

  I can't read what's on the boxcar nearest the mill, but the other boxcar appears to say "Missouri, Kansas and Texas." For its entire life, that railroad was commonly known as the "Katy," which is where the town got its name.

  Taken from the bridge on Bridge St. looking North: Streetview

• Niall McAuley said:

  Per the 25", the large building at left is a Distillery, the more distant one at far left a corn mill. On map and this shot the building at right is a woolen factory. In streetview we see the 1960s Cathedral dome (or Taj Michéal as it is sometimes known).

• Niall McAuley said:

  One of the men is wearing a boater, probably 1900-1910.

• Niall McAuley said:

  In the distance I see the railway viaduct, in operation from 1895.
