GREEN from the Beginning...

As we celebrate 80 years in 2011, we find ourselves looking back to the early days.  We thought you might find our history as interesting as we do.  Read below to see how we were "GREEN" before green was even big.

1931 - Mr. Howard B. Allen (otherwise known as Mr. H.B) and his son, Mr. Lynn A. Allen (otherwise known as Mr. L.A.) opened the business as a second-hand lumber yard in 1931. It was operated somewhat like a salvage yard. Old lumber/hardwoods used in previous jobs were taken apart, cleaned up, organized and then resold through Allen & Allen Co. It remained a second hard/salvage yard until the late 40’s when it began specializing in quality hardwood sales used in new home building.
