Cottonwood Paper Mill Remnants
The Cottonwood Paper Mill is an abandoned stone structure located at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon in Cottonwood Heights. It was built in 1883 by the Deseret News under the direction of Henry Grow. Workers used paper making equipment brought in from the old Sugar House Paper Mill to grind logs from nearby canyons into pulp. Rags gathered from old clothes were also used to produce the pulp, which was then placed into molds and dried. During its operation, the mill could yield up to 5 tons of paper per day. -from Wikipedia
