Allen Millwork dates back to 1860 when Philip Alden founded a sawmill by a bayou in Northwest Louisiana to serve a civil war demand for lumber. Since a bridge had to be built to serve the sawmill, the mill became know as Alden's Bridge Mill.

In 1883 two partners bought the mill and formed the Whited-Wheless Lumber Co. We use the 1883 date as the founding date as that was when present ownership was established. As the company expanded, a mill town known as Alden Bridge formed around the sawmill. At the turn of the century the timber supply around the mill was exhausted and the mill was closed.

The Whited-Wheless Lumber Co. moved to the Shreveport area and merged with the Allen-Currey Co. They formed Allen Manufacturing to manufacture doors and window sash utilizing the local timber supply.

As the market changed so did the company. Manufacturing was slowly phased out as the company focused more on wholesale distribution. Allen Millwork, Inc., as the company is known today, operates out of a 120,000 sq. ft facility with five divisions:

Wholesale Building Material Division * Lumber Division * Commercial Door & Hardware Department *  Architectural Woodwork Department

Allen Millwork serves the needs of retail dealers and general contractors in the Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana and surrounding area with a well-trained staff and a full fleet of delivery equipment.

While the company is very proud of its history, management has always felt the need to change to meet the needs of a changing market. This philosophy holds true today with a company that understands the importance of meeting our customers' needs with the commitment to service and quality that has made Allen a success through the years.
