On a warm spring morning in 1880, two brothers, William J. and Benjamin Huff opened the doors to the Cerro Gordo Lumber Co. in Cerro Gordo, Illinois and provided the roots of a family business that is now in its fourth generation.
W. Lindley Huff, son of William J., expanded with the help of his son Richard W. until there were nine locations in Central Illinois. There was a central business office in the Millikin Bank building in Decatur.
In 1967, Bill Huff joined his father, Richard W. during the phase out and closing of many of the yards. In 1968 they bought Decatur Lumber Service at 2201 Rt. 51 South and hung up the Huff Lumber Co. "shingle". The office headquarters at the Millikin Bank building was then moved to the new location on the south end of Decatur.
Huff Lumber Co. sells building material products to local consumers, residential builders and commercial contractors throughout Central Illinois. We opened a new division- Huff Home Specialties to do installations.
