Porters Building
Centers began as Kearney Lumber Company on June 7th of 1952. The company
started in what was an abandoned mule barn in Kearney, Missouri by Mack
and Mary Helen Porter. Mack cashed in the revenue generated from two
years of teaching math, science, and coaching. Mary Helen sold her new
car. The company has grown to seven locations. We have two contractor
and distribution yards in Mosby and Kansas City, each with rail spurs
and five traditional lumberyard-home centers in Kearney (headquarters),
Cameron, Laurie, and Greenview in Missouri & Elwood in Kansas. Porters
stock many fine products other than those that you would find in an Ace
Hardware store. We are distributors for ViWinteck, Ellison &
Lindsay in vinyl windows as well as Andersen & Weather Shield in wood.
We also feature Porter paints. We purchase our lumber direct from the
mills with quality as our first consideration.
