The view is directly from the South, so that the observer, looking to the North has the entire hundred feet of leveled wall before him. There are tanks 1 and 2, lifted from their places with the man-holes blown open and to the right is No. 4, from under which Smally was taken. So every feature of the ruin is brought out vividly in this excellent and highly finished picture, a copy of which should hang in every house as a souvenir of our most dreadful casualty."

A lone smokestack stands tall in the center of the photograph; collapsed stone, wooden planks, and destroyed boilers lay in piles around its base. Coral Mills can be seen standing behind the ruins. The Iowa City Paper Mill, also known as the Close Paper Mill, was built in 1865 as a way to capitalize on grain straw. Instead of burning the straw, it was decided to make paper from it. The company employed about fifty people, and used four thousand tons of straw yearly. Open both day and night, the mill had the capacity of nine tons of paper per twenty-four hours. The mill operated seven boilers and six water wheels to supply power to the machinery. In 1870, the water power was owned by the paper mill. The night of July 23, 1875, the paper mill was destroyed by an explosion. One of the boilers, No. 3, shot about 500 feet above the building and fell back into the river, setting off other tanks. Six employees were killed by the blast, their bodies flung a hundred feet or more away from the mill. This tragedy greatly impacted the Coralville town of 297, as well as the entire county (Lovetinsky et al., p. 13-14; Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1931).

Whether these repairs were needed due to the result of age, use, or ice damage is unknown. Behind the workers along the bank of the river are the Coralville mills. Starting from the left is part of the Woolen Mill, then the Close Paper Mill, and then Clark's Flour Mill (Lovetinsky et al., p. 14). *Lest We Forget dates this photograph 1843-1844. However, as the Close Paper Mill was built in 1865, and the Woolen Mill (later to be the Pearl Oat Mill) in 1866, the 1843 is far too early. Walch, on page 31 of his book, dates this photograph at 1891; again, however, the Close Paper Mill was completely destroyed in an explosion in 1875. A more accurate estimated date would be late 1860s-mid 1870s - and likely closer to the 1866 or 1867, as it looks like the Close Paper Mill is still under construction.
