The view is looking north. The photo was taken from the roof of one of the two boathouses, the northernmost one.

On each of these sidings, a freight car is parked. In the foreground, on the right, the sawmill. Still on the right, a little further on, a rather imposing barge (about 35 feet long). Behind this barge, two warehouses of the Brompton Pulp and Paper Company. In the middle of the picture, to the left of the railroad tracks, the train station. Still on the left, behind the station and going up towards the background, other houses and buildings.
