The Quackenbush Hardware Store was also known as J.W. Quackenbush's Store. It is a beautiful brick structure that is located at 160 E. Broadway in Eugene.

The register indicates that the location is not in use but that is not accurate. The area is thriving and the building houses one of the more popular restaurants in the area, a boutique, and a wonderful used book store.
