Seeking records of Baldwin Mills

Jim Kelly Jan 14, 2021 10:42 AM

I am seeking any pictures and records for a company called Baldwin Mills. This company supplied large amounts of lumber to Chickering & Sons piano manufactory and was located near the factory in the Back Bay area of Boston. This would have been in the early years of Chickering from 1854 on when much of the back bay/south end of Boston had water and wetlands as well as canals and docks. Eventually most of the land was "reclaimed" and developed but Baldwin played a major role in supplying lumber for piano building
