When Chicago Lumber Company opened its doors at 7th and Douglas in Omaha in 1876, the city was still finding its footing. One hundred and fifty years later, they’re still here, and so is the skyline they helped build.
For a century and a half, commercial builders, contractors and dealers across the region have trusted Chicago Lumber to deliver. Dependable materials. Trusted brands. Services that keep projects moving and deadlines met.
Today, their reach runs deep. The flagship location at 14th and Pierce, home since 1922, anchors a network that includes Century Lumber Centers in Ainsworth, Blue Hill, Kearney, Norfolk and Torrington, WY, plus The Window & Door Stores in Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney and Norfolk. Chicago Lumber is proud to be a Marvin Windows dealer for 48 years and counting, a partnership that speaks for itself.
Their product depth spans lumber, building materials, windows, interior and exterior doors and millwork, serving both Metro contractors and regional distribution customers.
To mark this milestone, Chicago Lumber has refreshed its brand — new logo, new website, same century-and-a-half of integrity. Celebration events are planned for mid-August in Omaha, honoring the people who built this company alongside the community they’ve served for generations.
