Description
This is a colour photo of the smelter operation located on the water in Thessalon. A large off-white two story building dominates the middle of the photo, with a smaller red building in the foreground. A variety of other structures and materials fill the centre horizon.
Notes
A test run of ore was brought in for processing. This test run exposed the fact that the smelter was poorly designed and as a result, this project failed.

Notes found indicate that Firstbrook Bros. Box factory was established in 1919 using one of the buildings from this failed operation.
Inscriptions
The inscription at the top of the photo reads: "The Smelter, Thessalon, Ontario."
