Company houses were first used to keep the work force close to 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, 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 1960's in Fraser Mills, British Columbia. They were first built by the Canada Western Lumber Company in the late 1800s. Our model has the usual EXPRESS features but also has a simulated cast concrete base, cast shingle roof, molded windows, doors, etc. The footprint is 3" x 4"
