Riggenbach Tile & Carpet

In the late 1930's Paul Riggenbach started out making deliveries for local farmers and residents of New Martinsville. He began noticing more and more linoleum rugs being unloaded from the train station (that once was a popular source of delivery in our small town). He saw an opportunity and began buying flooring to resell and deliver to all those in the market for this new product.

Paul married his sweetheart, Rose Kimble, and with the money he had made from his flooring sales, he built his new business, Riggenbach Tile & Linoleum, and a home for his family above what is now the showroom of of the store.
