Kemper Distinctive Cabinetry was founded on February 9, 1926 as Kemper Brothers, Inc. by George E. Kemper, Paul W. Kemper and Ray L. Headington in Richmond, Indiana, a small Midwestern town with a rich heritage of manufacturing. The company initially manufactured wardrobes, chifforobes and dresserobes. In 1927 a line of wooden kitchen tables with porcelain tops was added.
