Taken from Gardner's "Photographic Sketchbook, Vol II. No. 92" with text accompanying panel. Also includes text description page. The ruins of the once-great, eight acre Haxalll's Flour Mill stand at right. The hydropowered mill burned in the large fire that consumed thrity squares of the business section of Richmond. Crenshaw's Mill across the canal and the wooden shops on the right were preserved. The canal was used to relieve supplying pressures on the stressed Confederate rail roads. Severak civilians pose on the bridge.
