The peak of this around the Coeur d'Alene region came in 1910, the time of these photographs. B. R. Lewis came to the Coeur d'Alenes from Minnesota in 1903. He originally planned on constructing a complete lumber manufacturing plant, but in 1904, he purchased a partially constructed sawmill from the Kennedy brothers. It was located on the west bank of the Spokane River where it leaves Lake Coeur d'Alene. The plant included all the machinery of finished lumber and the logging operations were located on the west side of Lake Coeur d'Alene. He built several miles of logging railroad. The company had financial problems and only operated from 1904 to 1908, when it was sold the Blackwell Lumber Company
