Description: The Fraser sawmill in Plaster Rock, located on top of the hill. We see two kilns: one at the bottom of the hill near the courtyard and one on top of the hill, near the sawing section. Boards were dried before being shipped. We see a wood yard on the left and another one in the foreground. Logs were debarked prior to being sawed. Boards were then stacked between the saw mill and the planer mill. Those boards were then shipped by train.
