Kanamodel Products - HO Scale - Set of Three (3) Company Houses (SKU 436-1015)
Company houses were first used to keep the work force close the site so they would not wind up in the town lock-up after a night in the local saloon. Usually there were several types of houses - one for married men with no children, another for married couples with children, and a more elaborate one for foremen, etc. The model we have chosen was one used for married couples with no family and was in use into the 1960s in Fraser Mills, British Columbia. They were first built by the Canada Western Lumber Company in the late 1800s. Our model has laser cut clapboard walls, 27 custom castings of windows, doors, etc., cast shingle roof sections for quick realistic construction, cast simulated concrete base, and complete easy to follow instructions with photographs. Each house may be constructed in several different configurations to make your company town more authentic. Each house is 3" x 4".
