Rathbone Ace Hardware has served Springfield’s Historic C-Street since 1897, making it one of the city’s oldest continuously operating retail businesses. As part of the Ace Hardware cooperative, the locally owned store offers hardware, tools, paint, plumbing and electrical supplies, lawn and garden products, and everyday home improvement essentials while maintaining its longstanding commitment to personal customer service.

Visitors can expect a traditional neighborhood hardware store where knowledgeable staff and practical solutions remain the focus. Its historic location and continued operation make Rathbone Ace Hardware both a useful stop for everyday needs and a lasting example of Commercial Street’s rich commercial heritage.
