I&#8217;ve always got mixed feelings about those dumpsters: it&#8217;s great to see these old homes being &#8220;reused&#8221; in this manner, but there&#8217;s generally also a lot of good material going into the trash. Fortunately, we do have a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2014\/10\/building-demolition-salvage-theres-gold-dat-thar-abandoned-building\/\">architectural salvage<\/a> businesses around St. Louis, so I know that at least some of\u00a0those doors, windows, and sections of molding coming out of 100+ year-old homes is going to other <a href=\"http:\/\/craftingagreenworld.com\/2014\/08\/11\/bus-conversions-8-ways-to-turn-an-old-bus-into-a-home\/\">rehabs<\/a>. And, I know these kinds of businesses exist in many cities with older building stock.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, not in Norfolk, Virginia, though (which I&#8217;m sure has some wonderful old buildings). Resident George Arbogust has already waded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.domesticgood.com\/\">into the waters of green entrepreneurship<\/a>, and now wants to open a space in the city&#8217;s Arts District that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857834356\/architectural-salvage-and-upcycling-gallery-norfol\">offer architectural salvage, as well as upcycled goods, for sale<\/a>. \u00a0His pitch video doesn&#8217;t waste any time &#8211; take a look:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857834356\/architectural-salvage-and-upcycling-gallery-norfol\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is a different use of crowdfunding (at least in my limited experience): George wants to use this campaign to demonstrate demand\/support to the judges at Norfolk&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/vibrantspaces.com\/\">Vibrant Spaces<\/a> competition. The concept he has in mind certainly seems tailor-made for the funky, artsy part of town: he envisions one part gallery for work produced by upcyclers, and one part warehouse for those that want to do some upcycling. While he&#8217;s planning a for-profit model, he&#8217;s also considering a &#8220;B corporation&#8221; structure that would allow environmental and social benefits to come into the profits equation should he bring in investors.<\/p>\n<p>While supporters in the Norfolk\/Hampton Roads area will probably create the most benefit for the long-term, I&#8217;m sure George would be happy to take financial support from anyone willing to pitch in. If you decided to kick a few bucks his way, let us know, and tell what inspired you to help out. If you&#8217;re running a similar operation &#8211; anywhere &#8211; feel free to share your own experiences with us.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: <a
