Mill Warehouse Building Supply is a new face of a company founded in Jackson in the 1960s: Kasten Building Supply LLC, owner Phil Leimer said.
"We started the expansion about a year ago," he said. "We saw an opportunity to offer a good quality line of building materials to contractors and the general public."
Leimer said Kasten Building Supply always sold to the public, but this was a chance to increase the scale of offerings, and refurbish a building important to the history of Jackson and the history of his family.
Kasten Building Supply specializes in lumber and plywood, especially for cabinet makers, Leimer said, and this expansion will widen that scope.
Mill Warehouse offers just about everything someone would need to build a house, employee J.R. Eckley said. And, of course, maintenance and remodeling supplies are also in stock.
Lumber, windows, insulation, shingles, paint, power tools and hand tools -- several product lines, all for sale in a building that's stood at 422 Old Cape Road in Jackson for more than 100 years.
The building supply showroom is in just a portion of the structure, which was once a flour mill -- Cape County Flour Co., Leimer said.
His maternal grandfather bought the building in the late 1960s, Leimer said.
Fixing up a large building was no small task, he added.
"Today, we take for granted having electric tools, but a lot of these beams were hand-hewn," he said.
The Kasten Building Supply building at 410 E. Adams St. will remain in service as a warehouse only, Leimer said, with the Mill Warehouse storefront serving as the base of operations.
A grand opening and open house celebration is planned for 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 7 a.m. to noon Saturday at 422 Old Cape Road.
