N.Y. Lumber Co. Shuts Down Oldest Existing Manhattan Yard

(April 3, 2015) After over a century in business, Dykes Lumber Yard, New York, N.Y., is leaving its Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood home. The business shut its doors last week, moving the building supply shop to a different location on east 24^th St.   

The 103-year-old neighborhood yard still stands in the original building, which was recently sold to condo developer Charles Friedman for just under $11 million.  

According to Dykes president Charles Kreyer, the location of the yard was making operations difficult as the city continues to develop around the site, making it hard to accomplish deliveries and load trucks.
