This past week we were fortunate enough to reclaim the cabinetry from the infamous London Harness Company, of Boston, Ma. The London Harness Company was founded in 1776 and spent 92 years in the same location on Franklin Street, Boston. Unfortunately with the declining economy, they were forced to close their doors in 2009.

Our latest salvage project is a circa 1984 stone mansion that was built using all reclaimed materials. The house had english casement windows through out, JL Mott plumbing fixtures, massive leaded french door sets, a one-of-a-kind round top wrought iron entryway and much much more. Phase 1 of this project has already arrived at our store, phase 2 will come in the next 2 weeks. Enjoy these pictures!
Check out these photos of our skip-planed antique oak flooring that a happy customer just sent us. We've been selling quite a bit of this flooring recently. It's a great choice if you are looking for a floor with lots of character that is easy to install. Call or email us for details.
Today is January 20th and I'm STILL having a hard time remembering to write 2012 on my checks. Anyone else having this problem? I just keep asking myself, where does all the time go??
Our faithful blog followers will be happy to know that one of my resolutions this year was to write here more often (another was to KEEP all my resolutions, so far so good!)
So, you're probably wondering whats going on here at Nor'East. Well I can tell you we've been busy. BUSY BUSY BUSY. We have been averaging 2-3 salvage jobs per week since late fall and this is what we normally consider our slow season!! Most of the salvage jobs have been quite ordinary, others were completely extraordinary. Let me show you a few pictures...
This is an entire 18th century oak panelled room. Look at the hand carved details!
This is one of three JL Mott earthenware bathtubs that we currently have in stock. Great condition with light crazing.
This lot of subflooring was salvaged from a 1750's home. The boards range in width from 6-14" and lengths to 16'. This will be a beautiful floor once it is installed and refinished. 850 s.f. available.
This chandelier...what can we say, it's beautiful.
Hope you enjoyed this update.
Happy New Year!

This week we were fortunate enough to salvage the John Perkins Home in Wenham, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1710 and was listed on the national register of historic places. While we agree it was a shame that the house had to come down, we are thankful the owners thought ahead to reclaim as much as possible from the home.
We are starting the new year with a bang here at Nor'East!
On Tuesday, January 11th we welcomed a film crew from "Ask This Old House" and shot a segment that should air sometime in March. The segment was originally intended to be focused on salvaged antique windows, but it morphed into "a walk around a salvage company" piece. The crew was fantastic, and we had a lot of fun working with them. Here are a few candid's taken during the shoot.
