Founded by P.S. Edwards and operating since 1926, our main office and lumber yard are located in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. P.S. Edwards' sons, Pete and Frank, returned home after serving in World War II and joined the company in the 1940's. The third generation joined Brookside Lumber in the 1970's and continues to be involved with the operation of the company. The Brookside name was chosen because of a new residential area close by that was named "Brookside Farms". With a railroad siding on the property, lumber was delivered by rail car and sold to builders in the local area.
