About Century Steps®
In 1942 the small community of Sulphur, Louisiana, Alma Como used his hands and
carpentry tools to meticulously build a wooden form in which he would eventually
pour concrete. The finished product would be a rough but functional set of concrete
steps to replace the decaying wooden steps in which he had fallen through several
days before. Mr. Como's neighbors, admiring his achievement, asked if he would
cast a concrete step in the same mold to replace the rotting steps at their homes.
Soon Mr. Como's wood mold stayed full of concrete on a daily basis as the word
spread about his precast concrete steps. This may have been considered a simple
vision put into motion by using simple carpentry tools and talent with the exception
that Mr. Como had no vision at all. Having been blind for almost ten years, little
did Mr. Como realize that when he made that first wooden mold using only the touch
in his hands, he had begun what would eventually become the largest producer of
precast concrete steps in the world. For four generations,
Mr. Como's family has continued this tradition of providing the most durable,
economical and functional concrete steps available anywhere in the United States.
