Page Lumber celebrates a major milestone
Page Lumber, Millwork, & Building Supplies, originally known as H. G. Page & Sons, is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Since its inception in 1924, with Henry G. Page Sr.'s purchase of a Sears & Roebuck concrete block machine, Page Lumber has been providing high-quality building materials and played a key role in the development of New York state’s Hudson Valley region and surrounding area.
“As we celebrate a century of service our evolution is a story of resilience, innovation, and unwavering dedication to the customers we serve,” said Mark Whitney, CEO of Page Lumber. “Page Lumber continues to be a thriving family business, with the grandchildren of Henry Page, Sr., representing the third generation, actively involved as the board of directors.”
Beginning as a modest operation on Manchester Road in Poughkeepsie, New York, Page Lumber has undergone remarkable growth from producing cement blocks to offering a wide range of products including roofing, insulation, and becoming a well-stocked lumberyard.
The Poughkeepsie store, where it stands today, opened in the 1970s on the property where Henry Page, Sr. was born. The Page family, with Henry Jr., John, and Bill, who recall their childhood days unloading rail cars, have been pivotal to this growth and they continued to build upon this legacy.
Along with the third generation, their deep commitment has not only propelled the business forward but also reinforced their dedication to serving and enhancing local communities, Page Lumber said.
Page Lumber also noted that its 100th anniversary not only marks a commitment to growth and innovation but also a moment to express deep gratitude to the customers who have been integral throughout the dealer’s history. From its humble beginnings, the company has grown into a leader in the building industry: a journey made possible by the foundation of trust established through Henry G. Page, Sr.’s handshake agreements.
