Detailed Information

Founded in 1883 by former school teacher James W. Brown as a grocery and hardware store, this venerated mom-and-pop institution continues to meet the community’s hardware needs. For any home improvement project, large or small, Brown’s extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff will tell you what tools or parts you need, where to find them, and how to use them. Over the 142 years in business, the store has been lovingly maintained by three generations of the Brown family and, more recently, John Taylor, who continued the tradition of providing trusted advice, exceptional service and community spirit.

PBS Episode of If You Lived Here, which Aired on 10/04/21, Titled: Brown’s Hardware Has Been Building Falls Church Since 1883 in which John Taylor, the current owner of Brown’s Hardware, describes the neighborhood landmark’s growth and change as Falls Church transformed from a “sleepy village” to the city it is today.
