Four reports of a Montreal, Wisconsin company which mined iron ore from the western section of the Gogebic iron range in northeastern Wisconsin, all dealing with increased employee housing needs after company expansion.
The first three reports, 1921-1923, illustrated with maps, street plans, sketches, floor plans, and photographs, are studies of existing company housing of the Montreal Mining Company and of other company towns, such as those operated by the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. and the Carnegie Land Company. The detailed proposals cover all aspects of Montreal's new housing development including construction, sewers, water, painting, and landscaping. The final report, written in 1931, looks at the progress made on the development, again with photographs, floor plans, cost projections, analysis of sites and experimental building materials, and notes on the segregation of ethnic and racial groups of miners. The reports were drafted by the company, a subsidiary of Oglebay, Norton & Company of Cleveland, Ohio and include descriptions of mining sites at Hamilton, Wisconsin; Montreal, Wisconsin; and Gwinn, Michigan; all of which lie within the Ironwood Mining District.
