Fireplaces: A Kett Family Tradition
The History Behind the Business
"Recently I was asked to write an article for Michigan Home Resource Guide. I took the opportunity to briefly chronical our family business through the years as it relates to the fireplace industry." -Larry Kett |

Kett's Hardware, circa 1960
"I have a passion for beautiful, well designed fireplace- it's in my blood. I love stepping into a room and seeing a fireplace that causes me to pause and say whoa.
I'm a third generation fireplace retailer. The story of fireplaces and the fireplace business in West Michigan is my story- shaped by events both near and far, and is woven into the fabric of my family's history. My grandfather opened a local hardware store in Seymour Square in the 1920's."
