Lore
Old Growth Trading Company, a division of Preservation Trades. Inc , was founded in 2002 by artisan and preservationist Bob Przewlocki after being integral to the field of historic preservation for nearly 30 years. When architects and builders approached the parent company requesting surplus materials and unique fabrications, a new direction was developed for this specialized supply niche. Reclaimed materials, buildings and products were then made available for a myriad of projects, both in the wholesale and retail marketplace. | |
