NOB HILL DECORATIVE HARDWARE

Building Maintenance > Building Materials and Supplies

Nob Hill was conceived from an idea by Arthur and Clara Bendel of Saint Paul Minnesota in 1962. They traveled to a brass foundry in the North East to procure product and develop leads to foundries in Europe. In 1963, Author leased a space on Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, and he named the store Nob Hill, after the beautiful area of Nob Hill in San Francisco. Arthur stocked his store with ornate door knobs and cabinet hardware with fancy escutcheon plates and brass trimmings to go everywhere in a home. As the decorative hardware future started booming so did the migration to the suburbs.

In 1973 Nob Hill moved to a newly established strip mall in Edina, Minnesota. The new shop was larger so the product line increased dramatically. Nob Hill was devoted to the solid brass decorative door and cabinet hardware, adding beautiful bathroom accessories. The new Nob Hill was displayed so uniquely that many designers came to photograph the store for its display designs. Arthur was only able to enjoy his new success for a year before he passed away.
