History

Established in 1906.

We are the oldest continually family owned business in DC. Founded by William M. Hoffman and Clement W. Howard in 1906. Unfortunately, Mr. Howard passed only a year later in 1907. Although we have kept the name, the business has been run by the Hoffman family ever since. The business is currently run by Bill Hoffman (3^rd generation) and his two son, Scott and Willy Hoffman (4^th generation).
