GEORGE GOLDY: PHOTO REVERSED?

ABOVE IS A REVERSE PHOTO OF AN EARLIER POST WHICH IS QUITE CONFUSING. I HAD A TOUGH TIME GETTING ORIENTED. I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING EMAIL FROM YARDVILLE OLD TIMER GEORGE GOLDY. HE SUGGESTED THAT MAYBE THE PHOTO WAS ACCIDENTALLY REVERSED AT THE TIME OF PLACING IT IN THE PAPER.
-------------------------------------------------
GEORGE GOLDY WRITES:
Tom:
As a former Lakesider and after looking at the picture is it possible that the negative was reversed? If you flip it over the mill would be on your left, the store at the lake would be in the correct place and the bridge to Yardville would be in the correct place.George GoldyHere is a reversed copy of the photo. I have made a few notes. Any other comments welcome.And George, many thanks for the e-mail and the suggestion. Let me know if you can now decode the mystery.

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION, GEORGE.
LET'S SEE IF THIS MAKES THINGS CLEARER.

1922: "LAKESIDE" IN 1922

Amateur photographer Warren Donaldson took this photo of Gropp's Lake as it looked in 1922. With the very limited number of photos in my collection, I have to admit that I have a really rough time identifying the building in the background. That mysterious building in the upper right is a real puzzle. I do have a very old and very faded photo of the building once on the site when it was Lowrie's Mills, but I can't seem to tie it in with the building above. Perhaps local residtents of the area such as Gary Lippincott or Harold Yaede can enlighten us.
