"Nichols Hardware"

A Purcellville Virginia landmark

Nichols Hardware in Purcellville is a trip back in time.

With wooden floors, tin ceilings and overflowing shelves, this Western Loudoun County icon embodies a period of American history when personal service and word-of-mouth advertising were the keys to retail success.

In many ways, Nichols doesn't look much different from the store that was founded in 1914.

To the casual eye, the store may resemble a flea market hodgepodge, similar items gathered together, but with no real rhyme or reason.

Nichols Hardware opened its doors as the E.E. Nichols & Company in 1914.

Family owned since 1914

Nichols Hardware carries almost everything you need.

A few days before Christmas 1914, Edward Enoch Nichols and Paul Ambrose Warner

opened Nichols Hardware in downtown Purcellville.

Today, Nichols is the oldest retail store in the Virginia Piedmont still owned by its founding family.

Christmas 1914 was a time of sadness and rebuilding in the town of 500. Two late-November fires had destroyed seven frame stores and the board sidewalks on both sides of Main Street. Intense heat blew out the front windows of the nearly complete Nichols Hardware building. But the building itself was made of brick as a protection against fires, which were then endemic in small-town Virginia.
