I was doing my errands in Katonah one day and stopped into Kelloggs & Lawrence Hardware. Jeff Kellogg assisted me and we got talking about how long his family had run the business. The answer was over 120 years! Their store still has a wonderful old-fashioned feeling and they carry many high quality items for Country Living.

His Great Grandfather, Henry Kellogg, who had first been a customs agent in New York City had a hardware store and lumberyard in the original Katonah. When it was time to make room for the New York City Reservoir System and many of the buildings were to be moved to the new site, it was decided that they were to have a new building. There it stood alone for two years before the other buildings and homes made their way pulled on greased rails in 1897. It also became the family home on the second floor for many years and the new Katonah Post Office shared the frontage on The Parkway.

As a Realtor, I enjoy giving gift certificates from their store to new homeowners since it is a wonderful experience and they carry many useful and necessary items - with style!
