Dothan Glass Company was founded in the midst of the Great Depression in 1931
by two brothers, Earl G. Pitman, Sr. and O. B. Pitman, Jr. Possessing a strong
and abiding faith in God they founded the business on principles of fair and
honest dealings with customers and employees while supplying the highest quality
possible in materials and workmanship. Dothan Glass Company believes in being
a good citizen of the community and has always been active in civic affairs.
The founders were key participants in the organization of Dothan's recreation
department which is known as the Department of Leisure Services. This fact
was gratefully acknowledged when an athletic facility was named Pitman Field
in their honor. The company has always been an active member of the local chapters
of the Chamber of Commerce, the Home Builders Association and the Associated
General Contractors. Dothan Glass Company proudly supports the Dothan Area
Chamber of Commerce in its efforts to attract new industry by sharing in Dothan
by Design.
As the business prospered additional stores were opened in the surrounding
area. Pensacola Glass Company in Pensacola, FL was started in 1936. City Glass
Company in Fort Walton Beach, FL was started in 1965. In 1987 the company purchased
Dougherty County Glass Company in Albany, GA. All of these stores are full
service glass shops like Dothan Glass Company. The latest addition to our corporate
family was Builders Door and Hardware in Dothan, AL which opened in 1997. This
operation specializes in wood doors and hollow metal doors and frames for commercial
construction as well as finish hardware and building specialties.
Dothan Glass Company is uniquely qualified to service the Tri-States area in
residential and commercial construction as well as auto glass replacement and
repair and all other glass needs.
