Mill Construction

Many men were needed to clear the land and construct housing and these men, some merely boys, came to this new settlement site by the hundreds with hope of being hired. Those who secured jobs would be paid in cash, something relatively unheard of in Newfoundland at that time. Workers came from all over the island during the construction phase of the mill and town. There was little present in the way of accommodations so the men were given material to build their own tilts or shacks as temporary dwellings. These makeshift dwellings sprung up in three locations, the area now known as Railway Road; another along the railway tracks, below the hill on which now stands Riverview Motors; and on the north side of the Reid Newfoundland Company railway at Grand Falls Stations, which is today Windsor.
