"Volume - Price - Service" Since '32

K-I Lumber & Building Materials headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The original location of K-I Lumber was in the downtown Louisville area where, in 1932, the first K-I Service Team sold carloads and truckloads of lumber to customers in Kentucky, Indiana, and surrounding states.

In that same year, Walt Freeman, the president of Kentucky-Indiana Lumber Co., was born. He began a life-long involvement in the business that would grow into Kentucky and Indiana's largest lumber company and earn it the HBAL Associate of the Year award and many other honors from the industry it serves.

To better serve lumber dealers in it’s seven state marketing area and customers in metropolitan Louisville, the original "K-I Family" quickly realized they would need a conveniently located distribution yard. In 1946, K-I chose a downtown location at Floyd and Lee Streets, just north of the University of Louisville. 227 E. Lee Street is still in use today due to its central location and proximity to the interstate system.

As the decades passed, this progressive lumber company took a new direction. The Lee Street yard grew to ten acres with indoor and outdoor storage for lumber, plywood, roofing, and building materials, as distribution yards were established in Lexington, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana.
