BY JABEZ RANDS (As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations next year, Jabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the history of the town.} Do you remember when there was a large brick planing mill on the lot where Ken Cook has his green house? Sam Cooper, the Irish contractor and 'carpenter of Clinton had a planing mill there. In the early days, there was a frame mill on the property, but it burned down in 1896 and Mr. Cooper built a large brick planing mill in its place. Fire again claimed the mill, this time in 1908, ,just a day or so before Christmas. Mr. Cook's greenhouse is built on part of the old mill's foundation. Mr. Cooper had built the Normandie Hotel corner of King and Mary Streets just a few years before the fire and by some unexpected event, he had to take it over and run the hotel himself, so he did not get around to rebuilding his planing mill. After the fire, the engine room, boiler room and dry kiln were left, as was the 70 foot brick smoke stack. The old dry kiln and the engine room were used as ice storage houses during the summer for use in the Normandie building. Eventually, the engine room, boiler room and the dry kiln were taken down leaving the smoke stack standing alone. This old chimney proved quite a challenge for the young boys in town, as it had a ladder built in it on the inside, and they would climb up it and look out the top, but in doing so, they were pretty well covered up with black soot. The chimney was left standing until sometime during the 1920s, when it was taken down and the bricks used to build a chimney in the old Normandie building which was the Star Theatre and the Normandie apartments.
