HISTORIC BACKGROUND
The "company house" appeared during a boom in the coal industry in Nova Scotia
which, at the turn of the twentieth century, saw hundreds of workers arriving
daily to towns like Glace Bay. To offset the resulting housing crisis,
companies constructed and rented out accommodations, deducting the rent directly from
a worker's pay. Various styles, now privately owned, can still be seen in mining
communities.
