Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Boyd Brothers (Firm) : The Boyd Brothers Company (Osgoode, Cornwall, and Ottawa, Ont.), concrete product manufacturers, started manufacturing concrete building blocks in 1907 and continued to do so for more than fifty years. When they began, the technology was very new and often produced unsatisfactory blocks. Unlike many other companies, the Boyd Bros. learned how to produce quality products, expanded rapidly and prospered. Many houses, churches, schools, and commercial buildings throughout Eastern Ontario were constructed with their blocks.

Although block production was ended in the mid-1960s, this family business continues to manufacture such specialized products as precast concrete septic tanks and silos.
