1865-1933
J.O. Frost's Sons Furniture establishment first operated on Charles Street. Later their block-long factory located on River Street between Pine and Bridge Streets was the hub of Towanda economy until 1933. Chairs, tables, bedsteads and bureaus were popular products in the early days. Bedroom and dining room furniture with intricate carvings and turnings dominated later years. Frost Furniture was sold all over the country. Shortly after the Great Depression in 1930 Frost Furniture Factory ceased operations. Two of the firm's most valued employees, Elmer King and Anthony Barrett, formed a partnership. They opened a retail furniture store on the second floor of the building adjacent to the original Citizens National Bank. Later the firm known as Barrett & King moved to 103 Bridge St.| HM Number | HM22L6 |
