Our company’s founder, Albert L. Dunn, was born in 1869 in the small northern Wisconsin town of Rhinelander. He was the youngest of eight children born to Edward and Lucy Dunn and his father died before he was born. As a teen, Albert apprenticed in a local hardware store. When he finished secondary school and business college, he was a bookkeeper and bank teller before becoming a partner in the Dunn and Woods Hardware Company and marrying Mary Stevens, the daughter of a local sawmill owner, in 1898.
In 1907, Albert sold his share in the hardware store and formed Dunn Lumber Company, in Rhinelander, where he acted as sales broker for local sawmills. In 1910, he decided to relocate to Seattle, Washington, a boomtown with abundant timber and numerous sawmills. In later years, Albert represented the Phoenix Shingle Company, located in Ballard, and he sold their output across the country.
