Collins Lumber Corporation was founded in 1888. In addition to selling lumber and hardware, the firm has a long history of manufacturing custom mill work pieces for construction and in recent years has played an important role in the renovation of Troy's historic architectural heritage. Collins Truss Systems, Inc. is a subsidiary firm. A disastrous fire in 1989 destroyed the first century of Collins' lumber's business records.
Current records maintained are chiefly accounting records, sales records, and payroll records.
