Here's a few photos of some of the stuff I've acquired over the years. I'm just starting to get it out of the warehouse I rent into the building I just purchased. There'll be more photos on the way.

Now is this building you purchased going to be your new appliance store, or is this just your personal storage space? |

It'll be both. The 1st floor will be the showroom/shop. The 2nd, 4th, & 5th floors are warehouse/storage for misc. used appliances that hopefully will one day be sold (& the 5th also is storing the mass amounts of wringers & vintage gas/electric stoves that I just posted). My brother & I saved the 3rd floor for our collection of early iron stoves & some of the wooden washers, Maytag washers, etc that were pictured.

PeteK, The building was originally a warehouse for a few different stove companies, lastly being the Lebanon Stove Works. the other foundry buildings are long gone. It just so happens that my bro. & I have been collecting Lebanon stoves for the last number of years. They're fairly hard to find. We didn't actually know that this was the warehouse until I started to do research on it. The building was then used by the Bon-Ton (which actually started in this area) as a warehouse from the 1920's through the late 1960's. They added the elevator (the silo-looking piece on the side of the building) in the 20's. As far as the condo, I'd love to do that. unfortunately, PA passed the UCC codes (Uniform Construction Code) for buildings. The upper floors have no fire egresses (fire escapes). From what I understand from our realtor, the previous owner had quite a few folks looking at it to turn it into an apartment building, but the costs & regs were out-of-this-world. So, lucky for us, it sat vacant for the last 18 months, after the local food bank moved out. So, to make a long story short, we feel it was some sort of divine intervention. we collect Lebanon iron, we needed a new place to go, the owner was more the ready to move the property, & we saved some local history. |

What a fabulous collection. I love your Maytags and would love some close-ups of them. The wringers are fascinating too! |
