Hamlin Lake was a giant mill pond for the lumber
mills located on Mechanic Street. Men who worked in the lumber industry
lived in Smethport in the many rooming
houses around town. They would walk to their job at the lumber mill
and purchase fresh bread for their lunches at the bakery
across the street from the mill.
