The watercolour depicts the top side of the dam at the mill at Crapaud, Prince Edward Island ca. 1910. In the mid 1800s James Howatt operated saw, carding and grist mills at this location. They became known as the Leard Mills when the Bradford Howatt sold them to Charles Leard around 1900. The mills changed hands within the Leard family for several years thereafter. The grist mill burned in the early part of the century and was replaced with a new building. The artist is unknown.
