The Hardware Store is a location in Silent Hill that appears in Silent Hill: Downpour. It is located on Brite Street in the Chastain Heights area, just opposite to the entrance to St. Maria's Monastery.
Inside the hardware store is a bulb (if playing on Normal/Hard) on some shelves near the cash register, which is used for the "Cinéma Vérité" sidequest. The player will also find a shotgun in a corner on the floor next to the cash register.
Inside the cash register, the player can find a key, which can be used to unlock the nearby room. In this room, there is a painting needed for the "The Art Collector" sidequest, behind a box that can be pushed to one side.
