History

Established in 1986.

The history of Kirkham Building System, Inc. is one of four generations. Kirkham & Sons, the first building company in this family, and one of the first pole building companies in central Ohio, was established in the early 1950’s by Ralph Kirkham and his sons, John and Richard. In 1960, John Kirkham joined the Umbaugh Company of Ravenna, Ohio to form the Umbaugh Pole Building Co. of Delaware, Ohio. John Kirkham was President of this company until his death in 1976. In 1984, John’s son Alan started and incorporated his own business, Kirkham Building System, Inc. The following year, he purchased the Umbaugh Office in Delaware, Ohio as his own headquarters.

Don Kirkham, Alan’s son, is the fourth generation of Kirkham’s to work in the pole building industry. In over 15 years, Don has had the opportunity to work and learn from the «ground up» in the family business. He currently manages the construction department ensuring that each customer receives the same high standard of service
