EBC Earlham Building Center

About EBC Earlham Building Center

Earlham sits in the rolling part of Madison County, close enough to Winterset that the same low hills and creek bottoms run through both towns, and Main Street here still opens the way small-town main streets do, one storefront at a time before the rest of the day gets going. EBC Earlham Building Center clears its own lot and loading dock first on a snow morning, then works outward along Main Street and the side streets nearby so customers can get in the door for lumber and hardware same as any other day. The plows work early, timed to have the block open before the first delivery truck needs the alley behind the store. Madison County's hills hold onto snow a little longer than flat ground does, shading it in the low spots until afternoon sun finally reaches in and starts the melt. Residential driveways near downtown get the same treatment, blade and shovel clearing the short runs between house and street across Earlham's in-town blocks.
