According to Leigh Gordon in “Grand Forks: The Early Years” (Canadian West, No. 6, November 1986), promptly had a townsite surveyed and invited an acquaintance of his, Dr. Geo. W. Averill from Butte, Montana, to come an give him a hand in building a town. Averill obliged and the two completed a three story brick edifice as the community’s first commercial block, and built the first Yale Hotel and Averill’s famous house, Golden Heights.
