Where is this?

Interesting building.. but where is it?

So readers thought it was on Arkland Island but it is not..

Allan said and I might have to go looking for it. Thanks Allan!

Hey Linda… the very top photo above the Arkland Island image is part of an old mill beside the rapids in Blakeney… downstream from Almonte.

This is Arkland Island in Carleton Place

Arklan Island— Mississippi River, North-east of McNeely Ave Bridge

This vintage photo of the Arklan Island Saw Mill and bridge was taken Sunday May 14th, 1939. The island is owned by the Town of Carleton Place and was donated to the town for future parkland. The building you see in the picture is now in ruins and the old bridge across was removed many years ago. The island is only accessable by boat today but the ruins and stone channel walls can still be seen today. The island is steeped in history going back to the 1820’s. If you look on the historic 1833 district map, the sawmill is noted and it is called Bailey’s Mills. It should also should be noted that Carleton Place’s first hydro electric plant was located near the Aklan Island Bridge.
