Thank you, everybody!
Bob, I'm not sure what is appropriate for my era other than photos I've seen showing tall stacks of lumber in the open air.
Dave, I agree with Bob that the Atlas lumber rack is representative of post 1900. The February 2010 RMC has postcard photos of lumber yards in the Midwest around 1908-12. They show some two-story lumber sheds; too late for me however. Sanborn maps from the 1890's of the Auburn NY area I am modeling shows rows of "lumber sheds" which I suspect were humble single story affairs.
Andre, I suspect it will be a little while before it's all planted on my layout. We'll see.
Carl, I appreciate your looking in.
Dave, I have a lot of models to emulate here on the Forums. Also, I've learned that the camera is merciless in picking up the imprecise and the poorly-constructed.
Bill and Ted, I confess some elements already existed before this past weekend, such as the flat car, a couple of lumber piles and the base with track, although I did rework some of the scenery.
