Waters & Brown
From Salem Links and Lore
Waters & Brown began as a hardware store in 1895. Established by Henry Waters and J. Clarke Brown, it had a reputation for quality products, customer service and home delivery.
The brothers Donald and Edward Clarke bought the business in 1969 and relocated it to its present location on Derby Street.
Their sons, Tim and Shaun, have taken over the business and changed it to suit the times, evolving into a home decor business and opening a Beverly location as well. In the 1980's the company offered paint, wall coverings and later, added window treatments and upholstery.
