Walter A Wood Supply Co Inc

Walter A. Wood is a surviving example of a business staple that was formerly the linch-​pin of any thriving community: the Hardware Store.
In an age when specialty stores were not a viable business example, hardware stores provided a purchase point for all the durable necessities that would, in the following decades, move from intra-​store departments into separate free-​standing stores. A paint department, through the efforts and dreams of an enterprising individual, would become a paint store. Hoses and piping would become an industrial supply outlet. You get the idea.
Walter Woods, managed by the grandson of the founder, continues to survive in a world dominated by the ‘big box’ entities of Lowes & Home Depot.
Clean, well-​lighted, and with a mind-​boggling inventory, Walter Woods survives, an example of a simpler time, striving into the future.
