The Jesse M. Smith Memorial Library

Harrisville, Rhode Island
The View from the Stillwater Mill Chimney

December 1952 While the steeplejacks were at work on one of the Stillwater Mill chimneys, Lew Place's grandfather had the idea of asking them to take some pictures of the town of Harrisville. He sent a camera up to them in a bucket and they took the pictures. Lew recently "stitched" those pictures together and sent the resulting panoramic view to us.
