View along East Main Street, across the Clarendon Mill


pond, towards the Clarendon Mill complex. The state road to Boylston


continues along the ridge. Note the clearing and drainage of the mill pond


as the construction of the Wachusett Reservoir progressed. The ridge to


the left of the image was the location of mill tenement buildings for


workers of the Clarendon Mills. Circa 1895-1905.
