Our Story
Keystone was founded in 1954 by Warren Hoffman on North 8th Street in Burlington. He started the business selling storm windows, doors and awnings. In 1956, the business moved to the southeast corner of Smith and Marshall Street and added kitchen cabinets to its offerings. Seven years later in 1963, Warren purchased our current building and expanded display areas and product offerings. In 1974, the business continued to expand and our main area to the west was added along with more displays and products. Keystone continued to run as a family-owned and operated entity until it was sold to Brad and Heather Lange in 2021. In 2022, the building went through a large scale renovation and the business name was changed to Keystone Home to reflect the shift from a product-focused, hardware store to southeast Iowa’s largest kitchen, bath, interior design and recreation showroom.
