History Mystery Photo October 10, 2004 By Rodger Nichols of The Chronicle (Text Only) We threw a double whammy at you last week, with the pair of photos. Several folks recognized a grist mill and a church but only Bob and Giner Frazer recognized the church as Dufur’s (Oregon) Catholic Church circa 1916. “For many years now,” they wrote, “it no longer looks like a church, but a home. The spire was completely removed during the renovation to make it a house.” The photo was taken by Mary Brookhouse Remington. The shot showed the interior of the Boyd (Oregon) Mill. It’s taken from a 1948 publication, the “Co-Op Rooter,” which noted the mill was still standing at that time and had been built by James M. Allen “more than 70 years ago,” which would be before 1878. The mill had a number of owners, including J.A. Gulliford, a Mr. Cockerline, and Arthur A. Marvel. Georgia Marvel Mead kindly provided the publication.
