- Description:
- The mill was located on Mill Street on the south end of Rochester, along the Clinton River. This brick structure was built on the site of a previous mill, which was built by Stephen Mack (1766-1826) in 1824 and was destroyed by fire in 1875. At the time, it was owned by William H. Barnes (1829-1903), who operated it as a paper mill until his death. It then changed hands over the years, being known variously as Barnes Paper Mill, The Peninsular Paper Company, the Rochester Paper Company, and the James River Company. The mill finally closed in 2002 and the building was razed in 2005. Addressed to Miss Myrta Bond of Detroit, Michigan. (RRP-302) Ray Russell Postcard Collection

- Description:
- Postcard featuring a bird's eye view of the Parke-Davis Farm, taken from the Rochester Ski Jump on Newberry Hill. The Parke, Davis and Company was incorporated in the 1870s in Detroit, Michigan.

Commonly referred to as the Parkedale Farm or Parke-Davis Farm, it was comprised of land along Parkdale Road, bordered by Miller Avenue on the west, Van Hoosen Farm on the north, Dequindre Road on the east, the Michigan Central Railroad (MCR) on the south. Most of the farm buildings were demolished in 1999, but a few original structures remain. The site was owned by various companies over the years and was acquired by JHP Pharmaceuticals in 2007, which controls a parcel of land east of Letica Drive. Addressed to Mr. Cleo Soneraut of Monroe, Michigan from Bill. (RRP-3) Ray Russell Postcard Collection
