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.

Residents hoping for a more vibrant nightlife in downtown Logan will be able to check several items off their wish list when a historic building renovation is completed this summer.
The 121-year-old building at 25 W. Center St. that currently houses The Waffle Iron and The Crepery restaurants will have two additional tenants: Loganâs first brewpub plus an international food court with seven separate open kitchens and food providers. Space will also be available in the renovated and expanded basement for what developer Tony Johnson envisions as a âspeakeasyâ style tavern, though no tenant has committed to move there.
The two new businesses, Prodigy Brewing Co. and the Center Street Urban Market, are both already advertising online, and their names appear on Google Maps.
