RED QUARTERS was the location of black employees houses at J.L. Williams Mill in Sheridan. These houses were east of the railroad tracks on the south side of Hwy. 270. Another group of houses for blacks was located north of Hwy. 270 at the mill a short distance behind the 1913 Sheridan High School campus. This was called the Upper Quarters, according to Goolsby. Construction of these dwellings began in the early 1920s but was abandoned beginning in the late 1950s as the structures were moved or dismantled.
