Princeton's skyline changes

19 July 2007 — The Princeton area skyline changed Thursday morning when the tower at the old Gurley Mill finally came down. Work on the mill began several months ago, and in recent days as workmen prepared to take down the tower, the structure had begun to lean precariously. By noon the top of the tower lay at a heap in front of the base of the building. (NL Photo by Merrill)
