Kelloggs & Lawrence
Katonah
It was June 1, 1887 when Henry Kellogg first opened the doors of Kelloggs in “Old Katonah.” In 1895, it moved to a new building when the entire vil- lage of Katonah was moved to make way for a New York City reservoir.
In the early days, Kelloggs provided plumbing, electrical, and tinsmithing services. The store also sold gas and oil lamps, appli- ances, and, with the advent of auto- mobiles, even installed a gas pump out front. Henry Kellogg served as Katonah’s postmaster in the early days, and the post office occupied a third of the main floor when the cur-
rent building went up in 1895.
My wife, Diana Tyler, took over Kelloggs & Lawrence with me in 1996. Henry Kellogg’s great-grandson Jeff Kellogg is also our partner, and he’s
an invaluable one.
From 2005 through 2007, we went
through a renovation that doubled the retail space, and several departments have been added. Naturally, there is now a kelloggsandlawrence.com.
We’re proud that we’ve been able to continue customer service served up in a fun and festive atmosphere.
—Bart Tyler, Proprietor, Kelloggs & Lawrence
