Stewart Lumber Company

Stewart Lumber Company was organized by Emit Wilson Stewart in 1921 as a saw mill.

During the early 1940's E. W. Stewart Lumber Company began to emphasize residential and commercial construction along with retail building supplies. For thirty years the emphasis was on a construction oriented company. However, in 1970, the decision was made to stop building and start supplying the home builder and consumer with construction supplies.

The 1970's were very prosperous years for building in the Dickson County area. Although the decision to stop construction was made, the company continued to grow. During the period 20,000 square feet of new warehouses were constructed. In the fall of 1976 there was a new shop open to manufacture door units. This period led to a wider mix in products furnished and inventories literally doubled. The company continued to lead the areaa as the largest building supply company.

In the summer of 1985, Stewart Lumber Company expanded their operations in the Nashville area with a new location at 1681 Mallory Lane in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Five years later the third location was purchased in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This acquisition expanded the distribution of building supplies in the Middle Tennessee area.

The fourth location in Hopkinsville, Kentucky was acquired in 1997. This site serves the Clarksville market.

In 1998, Stewart's purchased a sister company which came to be Stewart Truss. This facility is located in Fairview, Tennessee. The company manufactures and designs wall panels, floor and roof trusses.

The most recent addition came in 2003 when Stewart's acquired another business in Gallatin, Tennessee.
