Lumber Company Plans New Office Near Mill Site
The Kanawha Valley Lumber Company will start a brick two story office building near the mill on Wilson Street. The $10,000 structure measures about 28 by 5 feet on the lower floor, with a display room vault and offices, plus an upper level for files and future architect space. Construction will begin with a foundation for Haw mill and carpentry work, but full work is delayed for several months after the West Side mill and office burned about 16 months ago.
