Description

A photo from the photo collection of Pacific Northwest photographer Oscar Loomis. His 1927-1937 collection spans a number of fascinating voyages on ships and by car. Mr Loomis would go on to join the Merchant Marines in WWII. This photo appears to have been acquired by him on his trip rather than taken by him. Type & Size: A 3x2.5" original photograph. Condition: Original to the era and in good to fair antique condition. Please see photos. This photograph depicts the Old Windmill in Prescott, Ontario, as it stood in 1929. The image shows the windmill from a gentle perspective, looking up from a rocky coastline enhanced by a backdrop of soft sky. The Old Windmill in Prescott is a historic site, known today as the Battle of the Windmill National Historic Site. In 1838, it was the location of a significant battle during the Upper Canada Rebellion, where British troops and local militia fought against an invasion by American sympathizers. The windmill was later converted into a lighthouse, illuminating the region's maritime heritage. "The Old Windmill Prescott, Ont." is visible in the bottom left corner, and the photo is marked "4617A" in the bottom right corner. No individuals appear to be identifiable in this photo.
