Redstone Village was built as a “company town”. In its prime from 1900 to 1940, it had a school, a church, a pool hall and a dance hall, and a stage for musical and theatrical programs. The village had its own US Post Office and zip code, as well as a boarding house and a rail road station.

Most of the houses were built in variations of the same design. Many of these homes remain and have been enlarged and modernized over the years.
