Beaconsfield Supply Store is a one-story brick building in rural Ringgold County, Iowa, United States.[1] Built in 1916, it became the birthplace of the Hy-Vee chain of stores when Charles Hyde and David Vrendenburg opened a general store together in 1930.[2] The building was later used for a variety of purposes, including a telephone exchange. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[3]
The building serves as the community center for Beaconsfield, which is one of the smallest incorporated cities in Iowa.[4]
