Sash and Planing Mill, built in 1873 by Joseph Sherman. It was later operated as Sherman and Peirce. When Sherman died, it became known as the Bristol Woodworking Mill operated by Peirce and Williams. In 1891, a fire destroyed the buildings and a new factory was built. The area this mill was located was on Canal Street opposite of Dorrance Street. This photograph is believed to have been taken before the 1891 fire.
