HISTORY
We are a family owned business started by Beulah and Evan Peckham in 1935 to serve the lath and plaster trades in the West Los Angeles area. The business survived throughout World War II and in the following years continued to flourish. Beulah and Evan’s son Virgil took over active management of the company in 1946. As business continued to grow, a branch yard was opened in Anaheim in 1953. Upon the sudden death of Virgil, his son Richard returned from the Navy in 1966 to take over the management of the company.
Westside still remains a family owned and service oriented business. Today, in addition to our Anaheim yard, we independently own and operate, facilities in Oakland, Hesperia, Las Vegas, Chatsworth, San Diego, National City, Lancaster, Fresno and Santa Maria. Bill Peckham, son of Richard, is now the fourth generation actively managing the business.
