This home is on the bench in here. The Bench was a new development when the mine opened in the early 60’s. My Dads Uncle built the second home as a contractor and others after. The bench had a color divide until this home was purchased by an Asian. Now owned by another Asian who has two subway franchises here, it’s a different world now. We think that it was not on purpose but reflected the economic divide and a the minority status of Asians immigrating here that worked agriculture and sawmilling, the richness of the mine brought people with more expectations than those from overseas.
