"Alderbrook developed around a sawmill built by H.C.Libbey in 1877. The Village grew to include a post office, a dozen company-owned houses, a boarding house,school and railroad station. The mill employed as many as 40 to 60 men and cut as much as 3 to 5 million board feet each year of lumber, clipboards,lath and shingles. It was sold to a Portland company in July 1909 and was destroyed by fire five months later. The blaze was likely started by a spark from a freight engine. The mill was not rebuilt and the once productive hamlet disappeared as the company left for other tracts of timber." 701 Whitefield Rd
