History of Mawson
Mawson Lumber was Founded in 1927 by Richard Irl Mawson
Mawson Lumber & Hardware got its name from R. Irl Mawson, who was born in Belmont Kansas on June 29th, 1882. He grew up the son of farmers and inherited his father’s “untiring energy and thrift.”
R. Irl studied at Wathena, Kansas and St. Joseph, Missouri. He later became a bookkeeper for Daugherty & Moss Lumber Co. for seven years. After working at E.W. Ray & Son Lumber Co., he later entered a partnership with E.W. Ray to open a lumber business in Wathena, Kansas in 1913.
He sold the business in 1914 due to the failing health of his wife, who had contracted consumption, and moved to Denver Colorado later that year. He bought a lumberyard in Severance shortly after his move.
In 1927, he founded Mawson Lumber & Hardware which expanded to have retail lumberyards in Severance, Fort Collins, Greeley, Brighton, Loveland, Longmont, and Denver and, in 1930, he built the Mawson-Wickers family home, which is now the home of Taco Bell at 1538 S. College Ave.
The Business consolidated to one location at 307 E. Mountain Ave in Fort Collins, where it remained and was sold to Tom Moore in 1979.
Before the Fire
After the Fire
The lumber yard burned to the ground in a devastating fire in 1983. The business relocated to a one building shed after the fire and plans were made to rebuild the business. Down to three employees, including Mr. Moore driving a forklift, the business was able to re-establish itself, creating a close knit community between both the employees and the customers.
Fast forward to 2010 when Mr. Moore explored the possibility of adding retail space to the facility that had housed it since the fire. it had faded into the background “unknown, limited and reached down an alley with no presence.”
‘‘First timers are a little star-struck; it isn't what they were expecting. We're unique - not like other lumberyards they've visited.’’
- Scott Glasscock
The decision was made to relocated the retail and office space to a 100+ year old Union Pacific Freight Depot owned by Mr. Moore, plans were drawn up and construction began in the fall of 2011. On October 9th, 2012, Mawson Lumber & Hardware began operation at its new facility located at 350 Linden St in Fort Collins with an expanded building material, fastener and tool department. Offices accomodate the accounting, lumber and window sales departments.
The Store was purchased by Scott Glasscock in July of 2015. It has turned into a “hidden gem” in the heart of downtown Fort Collins. And, as it always had, the business continues to change and evolve but, no matter what changes come to the business, the focus is on building not just homes but relationships with our customers as well.

Mawson Lumber & Hardware is a full-service lumber yard offering Fort Collins’ largest selection of Premium Grade Dimensional Lumber. Whether you are a professional contractor or building developer looking for quotes on whole house packages or the weekend warrior looking for a couple boards, we have the product assortment and flexibility to meet your needs. We offer the finest brands of premium grade dimensional lumber in the business, including Allweather Wood pressure treated lumber.
We source our premium grade dimensional lumber from the following manufacturers and distributors:
Naturally strong and durable, Allweather Wood pressure treated lumber is a proven building material for a wide range of commercial and residential applications:
- Dimensional lumber for framing and appearance grade finishing
- Structural timbers, posts and columns
- Pilings for docks
- Shoring for forms
- Exterior / interior fire-retardant lumber and plywood to meet strict building codes
And, because the treatment process extends the useful life of the wood, structures made with Allweather Wood remain in service for many years.
No matter what you’re building, it’s going to have to face the natural elements – air, fire, earth and water. It takes a special kind of wood to stand up to this onslaught and win. It takes Allweather Wood pressure treated lumber, ready for whatever nature brings your way.
In addition to being long-lasting, and ready for anything, Allweather Wood is honored to have obtained Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC®) chain-of-custody certification for our manufacturing facilities in Loveland, Colorado, Washougal, Washington, Medford and Coos Bay, Oregon. We also maintain chain-of-custody certification for our distribution facility in Woodland, California. We take our policies of environmental stewardship very seriously. We consider FSC certification a badge of honor, as well as an affirmation of our forward-thinking, environmentally sustainable policies. FSC certification enables consumers to make environmentally responsible choices when purchasing wood from retail lumber yards and home improvement centers.
With treatment facilities in Colorado, Oregon and Washington, we are close to the source of the finest in Douglas Fir, Hem Fir, Redwood, and Southern Yellow Pine. This lowers the overall carbon footprint of our manufacturing operations and enables us to offer a wide range of treatments for specific wood species, origins, uses, and desired protections. Whatever you’re building, make sure it’s ready to battle the elements.

One of Colorado’s most important assets is our beautiful outdoors! Due to our varied landscape, including rivers and streams, the Rocky Mountains, and sweeping plains, Colorado is one of the most topographically diverse in our United States.

Deck Railing

- Great value when compared against alternative decking materials
- Safe and comfortable, even on hot summer days

- No special tools or extra labor required for installation
We encourage you to learn more about Humboldt Redwood by visiting their website.
Why Choose Humboldt Redwood?
Choose Humboldt Redwood for many reasons, including natural beauty, natural strength, and natural durability. For these reasons, and many more, Humboldt Redwood is the perfect material for that deck, garden structure, planter box, or landscaping project you’ve been considering. Humboldt Redwood’s unique combination of aesthetic appeal, warm color, versatility, strength, and long-lasting durability make it an unparalleled building material. What’s more, Humboldt Redwood is a renewable resource harvested using sustainable redwood forestry practices. Humboldt Redwood is also environmentally friendly. Renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable, the environmental impact of Humboldt Redwood is minimal.
Looking for other reasons to choose Humboldt Redwood? Try some of these on for size:
- Humboldt Redwood’s warm, inviting color is renowned. The rich red heartwood and creamy yellow sapwood combine to form a unique grain, pattern, and character distinct to each board. While alternative, artificially manufactured products, including plastic decking, try to mimic the look and feel real Humboldt Redwood, they usually come up short.
- Humboldt Redwood stands up to the elements. It is naturally resistant to insects and decay. It resists warping, splitting, and stays comfortable to bare feet even on the hottest, sunniest days. That’s important in warm climates, like ours in Southern California, helping to keep children and pets safe in hot temperatures.
- Humboldt Redwood has earned a Class B fire rating. This means it may be used without restriction in fire hazard areas, including the state of California’s designated Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) zones.
- The workability of Humboldt Redwood is legendary. Its popularity with builders, contractors, and homeowners can be attributed to its versatility and ease of use. Humboldt Redwood is easy to nail, drill, saw, and glue, without use of expensive, specialty tools. When building a Humboldt Redwood deck, all you will need are standard woodworking tools. Humboldt Redwood also has little pitch or resins, making it very accepting of paints, stains, and other coatings.

LVL
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) features high design values for bending, stiffness, and shear strength. They are ideal for usages where construction designs call for long unsupported spans for grand entrances, wide doorways between rooms, and dramatic window configurations. They may also be used for floor beams, garage doors, window and door headers, and ridge and hip beams.
I-Joists
Where design values call for premium floor or roof construction, heavy loads, or extended spans, I-Joists are often used. Lighter and easier to handle than ordinary lumber, I-Joists offer high strength and stiffness in long lengths and I-Joists resist shrinking and twisting.
