In New Bedford, the town across the harbor from Fairhaven, best known for their whaling museum, is a warehouse filled with architectural details from old homes and churches. Want to restore an old home, or maybe add some interesting details to a house you are remodeling? Many options await you here.
Stained-glass windows in a variety of designs and sizes to add color and texture to light entering your home. One of these is now traveling on Last Dance, not to enhance the boat decor, just the beginning of its journey back to Flagler Beach.
Maybe a beveled glass front door could enliven your entryway.
A more bold design statement could be made with a large stained-glass window of vibrant colors and lively geometric patterns. Place on a west-facing wall for colorful sunsets indoors.
Have a bathroom plan that calls for a clawfoot tub? They have you covered. (Claws are stored inside the tubs.)
Do you know someone interested in the history of trains? What better architectural detail in the home design than a railroad station ticket office? For the model railroader, the ticket office as an entrance to the track layout room would be the ultimate statement.
Interested in some built-in storage with character?
Want to display your patriotism with a statue in your backyard garden? This reproduction of the Lincoln Memorial, in reduced size, of course, would make that statement easily recognizable.
Only a small sampling of opportunities offered by the stock that fills many thousands of square feet in this old brick warehouse have been displayed in this post. Before a house plan is drafted, a visit to New England Demolition & Salvage could stimulate a plethora of ideas.
