Silverton Hardware is the ultimate community hub of a small-town business on the ultimate small-town premises in the ultimate small town. The building, which has a bathroom and out-buildings large enough for lumber inventory or expansion was built in the 1920s. Sitting on three lots at 7,500 square feet of space, it was a gas station before a hardware store and had apartments in the back at one point. The owners have worked hard to build their brand and have developed an excellent, extremely positive relationship with the community. Locals routinely use the hardware store as their first source for needs, from paint to coffee grinders! The main building's retail space is 1600 square feet and the outbuilding accounts for 900 square feet. It is in the business pedestrian district which allows for more diversity in building expansion planning. This classic small town hardware store experience draws many visitors!
