The 661 homes built by Six Companies for laborers' families soon lined streets named for trees. These two, three, five, and six-room cottages were intended as temporary housing while the dam was constructed. However the families who lived there improved their homes, and many homes remained long after the project ended, some to the present. The Boulder City Department Stores quickly became a prime shopping area, but the government realized the possibilities for exploitation and allowed independent stores as well. To resist competition, Six Companies issued scrip to its workers as part of their pay, redeemable at the company stores. Eventually City Manager Sims Ely required the end of the scrip system. |
