Historic Hood River
Tucker Mill?

Notes
This one was so faded I could barely make out an image, but with a little work it can tell its story. It is described on the reverse as a view of Tucker Mill from Tucker Bridge early in the twentieth century. It doesn’t feel quite right to me, but the bridge has moved since then. I’ll need to visit to figure out exactly where this structure was. I’m also wondering why we can’t see the flume from here.

Boy that was a close one. I wonder if they lost any lumber.

This looks likely to be the upper Tucker Bridge fishing hole (rocky point on right side), upriver from the current bridge, that can only be accessed by walking along the (rightside) bank. I’ll take-a-look, the next time that I’m in that area.
