This small collection consists of fourteen photographs of views of Hazard Powder Company buildings. None of the images are dated, however, they appear to date from circa 1890s to the 1900s. The photographs includes views of: Block Pond, dry house, and dust house in distance; barn mill with bridge; loading the teams at the packing house under the hill; steam glaze; barn and powder carts; unloading the teams at the cars at the company swtich station in Scitico, Connecticut; and the machine shop, carpenter shop with coal house, office, and wash house in distance. There are two images showing the aftermath of the June 18, 1897 explosion of the "Little Red crackers" or barn that was attached to the plant that stored a large quanity of gunpowder. Three men died in the explosion. The two images show a large pipe, a few stone blocks, a many smashed pieces of wood scattered on the ground. There is a photograph of the dust house with Benjamin Warren Colburn (1863-1937) powderman standing in the doorway and J. McAviney seated in a horse-drawn cart. Pictured is either John F. McAviney (1856-1939) son of Edward McAviney (1824-1901) or John J. McAviney (1863-1940) son of Patrick McAviney (1825-1906). Brothers Edward McAviney and Patrick McAviney both worked in the powder yards.

There are four photographs taken by William A. Prentice (1883-1961), a resident of Hazardville, Connecticut until 1906, though he continued to have family reside there at least until 1919. Two photographs show a fire of the powder mill and the cooper shop being extingished by firefighters that are undated. Lastly, there are two images of the remaining structure of the old engine mills from an unknown date.
