has weathered this window frame - the original building was erected in the late 1800s - in 1904, when fire destroyed most of the plant - it was replaced with a brick structure - considering the age of this facility - would consider it well worth re-purposing - know someone who would love to do it - just a little glitch in the way - finances ! he has been in the front area when it was a thrift store - said it has wooden floors .. tall ceilings - this would be nice to 'tour' - The Burlington Coffin Company Burlington NC (it takes up most of the block) (info from Centennial page of Burlington NC) (c) All Rights Reserved Update: as of Feb. 19, 2016 -- this 100,000 sq ft piece of history is being demolished. There are no plans to use that entire city block. Just as my soul aches when a Green Soul is removed, when part of history is taken and brushed away as it never existed -- I get a bad feeling .. ** There is an empty lot in this space now; chain link fence around it. The owners said they had no plans to do anything with it. At least that part is true.... they haven't. **

- repurposed as Explorations V - a hands on musem for children - original use was a "five and dime" store - built by S. H. Kress, who loved art, so the stores were built in the Renaissance Revival style - restoring - re-using - what an example for our children - they see what we do, as well as, what we say - kudos to all souls involved in this ! - check the link below - why is it called Explorations V ? - somehow I think Samuel Henry Kress would love to tour his former store www.explorationsv.com/ © All rights reserved
