In 1936, Mr. Paul Lee closed down his Block Ice and Delivery business on Vincennes St. across from New Albany High School. He opened a hardware business in a building (garage) behind Stemle's grocery (Little Tiger) at the corner of Vincennes and Charlestown Rd. Around 1946, Mr. Lee built a one story concrete block building at 1905 Charlestown Rd. and called it Eureka Hardware. A few years later he added a second story to the building and changed the name to Eureka Ace Hardware. In January 1985, Paul Staashelm purchased the business from Marie Lee (Paul Lee's widow). The two story building with steps to the second floor was not accessible to the disabled and was replaced with a 15,000 foot store that ended up as the only Hardware store in town. As part of a cooperative, every Ace Hardware store is independently owned. We are all committed to being "the Helpful Place" by offering our customers knowledgeable advice, helpful service and quality products.
