[1900-1925]. - Photograph showing a mill in Fauvel (Bonaventure). This mill is believed to have been built around 1824 and one of its first proprietors was James Day.

It is worth noting that stone buildings are quite rare in the region. The mill has sadly been demolished since.

This photograph is included in an album of the Gillis (Gilles) family of Port-Daniel.
