   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.
