Local hardware store has deep roots

For the past 115 years, businesses on Baltimore?s Lombard Street have come and gone, yet through it all a hardware store has stood at the corner of East Lombard and Ann streets.

“It started as Fauldrath & Son in 1891, was taken over by the Sirotas in the ?60s, and we bought it in 1996,” said Lillian Crowley, who with her husband, Ken, owns Lombard Hardware & Tool Rental.
