Larsen Bros. Lumber was founded March of 1882 by a Danish immigrant, Jens Larsen. The company's original location was on San Leandro Blvd. until 1956, when a fire burned down the yard. The yard was rebuilt and in 1965 was forced to move to its Washington Avenue location after the construction of BART. The company first sold coal, hay, feed and lumber and provided materials for the construction of Lake Chabot Dam. Larsen Bros. Lumber has been successful for over 4 generations and is acclaimed as the oldest, continuous running business in San Leandro.
