Our History
-
1888
In 1888, Thomas P. Hogan Sr. founded Hogan Lumber. The offices and yard were located between First and Second at Alice Street in Oakland. Hogan’s wharf and mills at Second and Alice (near Jack London Square) received rough and unfinished lumber carried aboard ships from California, Oregon, and Washington. The lumber was milled and finished products were distributed throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, the Hawaiian Islands, and other Pacific areas.
-
1915
By 1915, a major part of the business was supplying lumber for the development of Oakland. Hogan Lumber’s Millwork division processed sash, doors, cabinets, plywood, window trim, crating lumber, and other types of lumber for building needs.
-
1962
The firm was run by Thomas P. Hogan Jr. upon Thomas P. Hogan Sr.’s retirement, and, finally, by his son, Thomas P. Hogan III. The yard closed in 1962.
-
1968
With a desire to be back at the helm, Thomas P. Hogan III purchased Ashby Lumber on Ashby Avenue in Berkeley in 1968.
-
1984
With dedication, hard work, and a love of the business, Tom Hogan guided Ashby Lumber’s growth for 16 years. When he passed away suddenly in 1984, his son, Jeffrey Hogan, and daughter, Kathleen Hogan Brown, took over the running of the business.
-
2006
The third generation of the family entered the business in 2006, and is guiding Ashby Lumber using today’s technology while maintaining the same dedication to customer service.
