Located in an old apple cold storage warehouse, Nelson Storage began
in 2006 as a large, empty warehouse in the wide open expanses of rural
Nelson County. The truism that "stuff" expands to fill the available
space has been proven tenfold in the 25,000 square feet that are now
bursting with the rescued detritus from construction sites, destruction
sites, auctions, and landfull-destined piles. The owners of Nelson
Storage LLC have spent 20-odd years reclaiming modern and antique
architectural pieces, with an eye to the unique and unexpected, both
commercial and household: architectural salvage doors, household items,
mantels, sinks, windows, tile, and much more.
It
is very important to us to do everything we can to minimize the waste
stream, whether that means recycling, reuse, or repurposing what some
might consider trash into beautiful furniture. The architectural and
industrial pieces we find are beautiful in their own right, but we enjoy
turning them into functional pieces.
I freely admit that when my husband saw great beauty in the Lineberry carts and Nutting carts used in furniture factories across the country, I suggested he have his eyesight checked. He saw coffee tables, garden ornaments, and historic architectural detail. I saw heavy, dirty, broken-down carts that took up tons of useful space. When he restored them into breathtaking works of art, I demurred. When, a year later, Restoration Hardware began offering them for over $1,000, I had to eat my words. I hope that you find as much beauty in them as we do, and I hope that you enjoy looking at our gallery of artifacts, which are quickly disappearing from our everyday lives. Add a little history to your life soon.
We have rooms full of architectural salvage, industrial salvage, and
antique items that are unique and beautiful. We have stacks of reclaimed
lumber, fireplace surrounds, mantels, bathroom hardware, office
furniture, including antique desks, and so much more to discover. Just
contact us to schedule an appointment to find the perfect piece for your
space.
We
have been growing and expanding with the passing years. Our warehouse
now offers office space with high-speed internet, and is home to the
antiquarian bookstore Buteo Books, specializing in Natural History
books. We are also home to Nelson Recycling, which collects and bales
paper, cardboard, steel, aluminum, and plastic. Contact us to set up an
appointment to visit, because every day is exciting here!
