Paine Lumber District

Originally established as a sawmill in 1853 by Edward Paine and his two sons, the Paine Lumber Company became the most successful and largest of the numerous lumber companies in Oshkosh.  The company employed over 2,000 at its peak in 1929 when it was said to be the largest sash and door company in the world, producing one third of the nations hardwood doors.

The Paine Lumber District contains 14 buildings originally built, owned or used by the Paine Lumber Company and associated with the company at the height of its success.  The Paine Factory, which is now a condominium, development is not included in the District due to alteration.
