Come here for the scent alone. Or a true 2x4. Lap siding, cypress, heart pine, or a cedar post. In operation since 1908 and providing retail since 1949, Anderson's carries the wood you cannot find at a big box store. Run by Fred Anderson, a Boca Ciega high grad, this yard serves a crucial role in the St. Pete community. When new home owners realize their McMansion was trimmed with crap composite, Fred and his crew will mill the proper replacements. In a city increasingly built out of stick frame and construction adhesive, everything done on the cheap, Anderson's feels special—like an olfactory forest in south St. Pete. andersonlumberstpete.com
