Boro Sawmill & Timber Company was established in 1925 as the BORO HALL LUMBER COMPANY located in Jay Street, and later Concord Street, in the Boro Hall section of Brooklyn, New York. At the time lumber for the New York market was unloaded off ships at the Jay Street Terminal docks on the East River, the location was ideal for a fledgling lumber company like Boro Hall. Boro Hall Lumber Company's first ‘truck' was a horse-drawn wagon and the last job of the day was to feed the horses. The company was started by John G. Sussek with $1500 which was lent to him by his future wife who said she'd marry him if he was successful. One year later they married in a church only a few blocks from the lumber yard... An inventory of over 1 million feet of Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Red and White Oak, and Tropical Hardwoods in grades #1, Select Structural, Tight Knot, Clear, and more.
