Above the fabulous acoustic ceiling, there was a plaster and lathe surface we had assumed to be the actual ceiling. At 11 feet, we were happy with the added height to come. BUT…upon removal, we found an additional 4 feet at the actual roof rafters. Very.Good.day.

 As we begin to remove the carpet and check out the condition of the wood floor underneath, we are inspired by what we found. We hope to mildly refinish them and coat with shiny laquer, allowing history to tell its story.

 We headed out early Sunday morning to check out a potential project. There are great details on this small town creamery, turned fire station…turned city hall…turned laundromat. Not sure if this one has enough on its side to outweigh location and low population…stay tuned.

We love old buildings. People may call us crazy, but we consider ourselves stewards of history, and historic places. We’ve seen these places all over the world, and are now working to revive downtown buildings throughout SE Minnesota.

Welcome to OldSpaces/NewPlaces! Thanks for looking into what we do and who we are.
