Historical Sketch

The Richards and Conover Hardware Company was started by John F. Richards in 1857. When it closed in 1999, it was one of the longest continually running family owned businesses in Kansas City.

John Francisco Richards got his start in the hardware business while working for Child, Pratt and Company in St. Louis in 1854. He then moved to Leavenworth, Kansas Territory in 1857 to go into business for himself. He opened the J.F. Richards’ Hardware Store and Agricultural Warehouse (also briefly known as Richards and Chamberlin). By 1866 the business was prospering as John F. Richards and Company, and John Conover was hired as a traveling salesman. Richards took note of the growth in Kansas City – the Hannibal Bridge being built and the livestock industry settling in – and realized the area would have a significant edge over others as a railroad hub. So in 1875, knowing that fortune would follow the railroad, he opened up a company branch at 3rd and Delaware in Kansas City. Between 1881 and 1884, Richards moved to a new location at 5th and Wyandotte, reorganized as Richards and Conover Hardware Company with John Conover as a partner, and closed the Leavenworth branch. In 1906 they opened a branch store in Oklahoma City. The company continued to prosper as they took advantage of numerous opportunities to buy out competitors and expand their own reach.

By the 1950s, the demand for hardware wholesalers was beginning to decline, so Richards and Conover decided to focus more resources on steel distribution. In 1954 they opened a new plant for their steel operation at 6333 St. John Avenue, and then in 1958 they liquidated the hardware business.

The company began experiencing difficulties in the late 1990s, due to a faulty new software system and changes in the steel market. In December 1999, the company closed and sold off all its assets. During the company’s 145 years, it always remained a family-owned business with five generations of the Richards family being involved. At the time the company closed, it was being run by Martha Richards Sawyer, a great-great-granddaughter of the company’s founder.
