SILVER RIDGE MILL BUILT FOR EXPANSION.
Four partners built a small sawmill in the 600 block
The men – Vince Downey, Steve Shypitka, Joe Downey and Bill Griffiths – decided to name their operation “Selkirk Sawmills”, but soon found that this name was being used by another firm, so renamed theirs “Silver Ridge Sawmills”.
Today, however, the Selkirk subdivision (which occupies the land that the original mill did) is a trace of the firm’s first name.
In 1962, Silver Ridge Sawmills moved to its present location on
The most recent addition, a gang saw, allows Silver Ridge to saw 40,000 board feet of logs per day. A second unique feature of the mill is a carriage that will handle logs up to 30 feet in length.
The 15-man mill is presently operated by Mr. Vince Downey and Mr. Shypitka, the two remaining partners.
