History
Having worked in the commercial construction business for more than 15 years, Steve often came across tons of really cool stuff that he just couldn't stand to see end up in a landfill, so he started taking it home ... and it started piling up. In 2004, he and his wife Debbie decided to take a leap of faith and transform his massive collection into an architectural salvage business that today is Old 56 Salvage.
