Builders Mart Of Goshen Indiana

Founded in 1871 Morsches Builders Mart is descended from the lumber business of Simon Jack Peabody, a major benefactor of Columbia City Indiana. In the late 1880s Ferdinand F. Morsches began working as a laborer at Peabody’s company. The Morsches Lumber Company eventually became exclusively a retail lumberyard and in the late 1970s became the Morsches Builders Mart. Four generations of the Morsches family operated the plant; Paul Morsches, Sr., was followed as president by his son, Paul, Jr., and later by Franz.
