Description
Taken from Passamaquoddy Bay, this photo shows the Murchie Mill at Lewis Cove in North Perry. The mill was located on Gin Cove Road.
To the right of the stack is the Pottle House, which at one time housed a restaurant, and still stands. Murchie’s Store, later Bishop’s Store, is visible in the background on what is now U.S. Route 1.
The Murchie Mill was gone by the 1930s. Later, Herbert Adams and C. Marshall Washburn built a sardine factory at the site. That building, along with most of the buildings in this photo, is no longer standing.
