Winters and Colbath erected the "Glenbrook Hotel," which finally came into the hands of Messrs.

Yerington and Bliss, who, later, were the builders of the railway, the owners of most of the surrounding timberlands, and who had practical control of the major portion of the lumber interests.

But prior to this a lumber-mill was built by J.H.F.Goff and George Morrill in the northern part of the town.

This did a good business, for even in those early days common lumber was worth $25.00 per thousand feet, and clear lumber, $45.00.
The mill was soon destroyed by fire, but the site was bought by A.H.
Davis and Son, who erected a new mill, which they operated for a while and then sold to Wells, Fargo & Co.

It was not until 1873 that Yerington & Bliss came to Glenbrook.
