Southern Homes celebrates milestone with 75,000th house

Feb. 5 marked a record-setting day for Southern Homes in Russellville. The facility’s 275 team members gathered together to celebrate the construction of their 75,000th house.

Those who had a hand in the home’s construction added their signatures to a framed board that will be presented to the new home owners, Richard and Paula Hill.

“This incredible milestone wouldn’t be possible without the hard work our team members put in every day,” said Clayton Russellville general manager David Brewer.

The Hills purchased two two-bedroom, two-bathroom home through Timberline Homes of Dothan, Clayton’s top retail partner. The Hills lost their previous home during Category 4 Hurricane Michael while living in Bayou George, Fla.

With Richard being a general contractor, “we’re honored to provide a new home to someone that specializes in a similar profession and understands the quality of construction that goes into every home we provide,” said TMX Manager Mollie Carter.

Clayton produces traditional site-built homes, prefabricated housing, including modular homes, manufactured homes, tiny homes, college dormitories, military barracks and apartments.

Soon representatives will present the Hills with the framed signature board and a special gift basket for the family, which includes their two dogs, Dusty and Dolly.
