For those who grew up with the neon pink signage of Edwards Furniture in downtown Logan, the removal of the 1960s-era facade might feel like losing a bit of Cache Valleyâs past. But preserved underneath is a piece of history dating back to the 1880s â the buildingâs original storefront.
The metal facade is being removed as owner Kent Ricks hopes to restore that original storefront, with some small adjustments for modern tastes.
Edwards Furniture ended a 138-year run when it closed in Nov. 2018, and Ricks moved quickly after purchasing the building. Curate Company opened at its new location in March of the following year â meaning 26 S. Main St. has been home to the furniture business for a continuous 141 years.
