Arnold purchased a small wood lot at Ridge Hill in N. Kingstown in 1911. Logs were cut by hand then taken to a local sawmill to be planed. The planed lumber was shipped via the Kingston Freight Yard throughout New England. Shortly after clearing the wood lot at Ridge Hill, Kit had to travel as far as Maine to gather pine to support his growing lumber business. During one of those trips to Maine, Kit and his son Arthur Arnold, Sr. came up with the idea to bring back extra lumber to supply to local builders. In these early days the lumber was kept in the family garage. In 1952, the first lumber shed was built on Fairgrounds Road in West Kingston. Not quite equipped as a retail location, often customers would come by on Sunday, even though no one was there, pick out the wood they needed, and leave a note saying they would return to make payment on Monday. So began Arnold Lumber's commitment to customer service! In 1975 Art Arnold, Jr. came home from the Army Corps to join the family business. By 1982 the company had acquired the Berger Lumber Company in West Kingston and moved into its current location at 251 Fairgrounds Road.
