GARDNER, ALEXANDER. Two albumen prints: Tredegar Iron Works, Richmond, Va., [1865], 7 x 9 in. and View of Crenshaw's Mill, [1865], 8 x 10 in., both views from along the Kanawha canal, towards the mills. The Tredegar Iron Works was perhaps the most important foundry and machine shop in the South, producing cannon during the war and revolvers prior to the hostilities. The ruins depicted in the second photograph are those of Haxall's Mill, one of the busiest flour mills in the area (a large supplier of the British Navy in fact); it fell prey to the fire during the evacuation of Richmond. (See Plate 92 in Gardner's Sketchbook, for a similar view.) (2)
