NEW PLANING MILL BEING BUILT BY F. ROUNDS
Many residences Building
[People’s Press, 29 August 1905]
The building boom is beginning in earnest in Welland, in fact, by the amount of building now in progress or nearly completed, has evidently been on for some months past
F. Rounds of the Northern Lumber Yards has commenced building operations on a planing mill at his yards, North Main street. The new mill is located just north of his old saw mill building, and will be a one-storey fire proof building with cement floor and walls. The main building will be 22×60 feet with engine room in addition. Mr. Rounds will install the most modern machinery. The old sawmill will be dismantled and used as a store house, for which it is admirably adapted.
A summing up of residences now in course of construction reveals a substantial increase.
Mrs. McEwing has just started a nice residence on East Main street.
J.H. Burgar has about completed the rebuilding of his residence on Muir street, in the most modern style. The house has been greatly enlarged, and a cellar built underneath the whole building.
Alex Griffiths has just about completed a handsome residence on Division street, near the G.T.R.
T. Roach has also built a fine large frame residence on Division street, next to the Episcopalian church, which is about ready for occupancy.
H.W. Somerville is building a stylish concrete residence on Merritt street.
Mrs. Mary A. Tait is completing a modern frame residence, also on Merritt street.
J. McMillan has been rebuilding a residence on Hellems avenue in a neat manner.
A.J.J. Brennan has let the contract to R.M. Jamieson and M. Vanderburg for a brick residence on Young street, and Mrs. O.H. Garner has let the contract to R.M. Jamieson for a residence on Griffith street. There are more houses in construction than this, besides numerous improvements and additions to residences, so that the building trade is livelier than for many years. What will it be when the Cordage and Beatty factories boom is fully on?
Watch Welland grow.
