Historical information

A black and white photograph taken of the modern day J.L. Gould Sawmill in Lamont Street in Alexandra. The J.L. Gould Sawmill on Lamont Street in Alexandra began operations around the mid-1970s, with official records showing it was actively operating on the site by at least 1976. While the Gould family's timber and sawmilling business originally centered around nearby Marysville and Healesville, they expanded their footprint into Alexandra by taking over the industrial site that includes the historic former Alexandra Dairy Company building. The mill grew to become one of the town's largest employers and a key piece of the local timber industry before the Gould family sold the business to ITC Timber in 2006.
