Porter Hardware, the oldest continually operating hardware store in the state of Alabama, was opened in 1889 by Edwin Russell Porter and Joel Murphree in the city of Dothan and is still operated today by Mr. Porter's descendants. The interior and exterior of Porter Hardware remains virtually unaltered and it maintains a large inventory of hardware and hard-to-find items. ==History== Mr. Porter bought the lot on East Main Street in Dothan, Alabama for $300 and built the E.R. Porter Hardware building. Mr. Murphree sold his interest in the hardware to Mr. Porter a few years later and moved back to Troy, Alabama. Porter Hardware has remained in the Porter family ever since. Mr. Porter died in 1944, and it was his desire that the hardware store continue to retain its original appearance. Since that time, everything except the type of inventory has remained the same. Porter Hardware is currently owned by Mr. Porter's daughter, Jane Porter Thrower and is managed by his granddaughter, Jane Thrower II. His great-grandson E.R. Conaway is also employed at Porter Hardware.
