Photo of Cement Mill ruins from a distance across canal, circa 1904

This photograph was taken by Joel L. Griffith of Cumberland, Maryland during one of his many excursions down the C&O Canal with the Shawnee Canoe Club in 1904. The Round Top Cement Mill had recently burned to the ground in 1903 and had not been rebuilt by the time of this picture. The mill was rebuilt but would close due to financial hardship in 1909.
