Roxy: A Lake Coeur d’Alene Mill

 (The Spokesman-Review)
(The Spokesman-Review)

At Remember The Roxy, OrangeTV headlines this 1936 postcard image as "Lovely Lumber Mill, Lake Cd'A, 1936. It appears to me that this mill once stood at the current site of the Coeur d'Alene Resort golf course. Dunno if it was called the Rutledge Mill then. Eventually, Hagadone bought the old Rutledge Mill and constructed his golf course and floating green. A piece of the Rutledge Mill machinery now sits in the paid parking lot north of the North Idaho Museum on Northwest Boulevard.

Question: Do any of you have a relative that once worked in the old Rutledge Mill?
