In the early part of the 20th Century, Dains delivered to construction sites by horse and wagon mostly heavy lumber and timbers, cement, and lime, and by the company-owned schooner Annie to sites along the banks of the Hudson River, including West Point. Today, Dains offers virtually every building product available on three acres of land, in the 5,000-square-foot store, 1600-square-foot showroom and 2000-square-foot deck showplace.

Presently, Jeffrey Dain, great-great grandson of founder Nathaniel, operates Dains along with his son Dustin (Nathaniel) Dain. Jeff says he hopes his three other children James (15), Bryant (14), and Georgia (11) will continue the family history (if they so choose) of serving the community’s needs, as Dains has done since the 1800’s, by carrying quality products, providing exceptional service and offering expert advice.
