The owners of Fairview Hearthside Distributors have been in the residential hearth products business since 1929. Beginning as a small manufacturer of concrete blocks for foundations and chimneys, Fairview Block and Supply Corp. soon expanded into product lines that provided the mason with materials for fireplaces.
In 1982, only masonry fireplaces and masonry furnace chimneys were used for new residential construction. Recognizing that there was a shrinking number of masons in the industry, the firm introduced the zero-clearance, pre-engineered fireplace system to the local construction market.
Eventually closing the masonry supply business, the hearth products division continued serving the market as the Fairview Majestic Fireplace company. Fairview Majestic had a very large customer base in the mid and lower Hudson Valley, as well as Fairfield County, Connecticut.
