The D'Angelo Bros. Outfit The Navy

Today we delivered flooring materials to the Urban Outfitters headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. The wood planks were picked up in North Charleston, SC and from what we were told, were reclaimed wood over 100 years old. Their offices are located in the old Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Read the architect's description of the restoration of the buildings HERE. The buildings are beautiful up close and the ones that are already restored look just as they probably did when they were new.

Here is a picture of the crew hauling materials in through a second floor window. Ed talked to the foreman on the site and was told that Urban Outfitters bought the buildings from the Navy for $1.00 apiece but that obviously need thousands of dollars worth of work to get them in habitable condition.

While those guys were busy hauling materials, the rest of the D'Angelo Bros. crew were busy taking a little break. It was early in the morning so it wasn't lunch, but they must have been exhausted being on the job for, oh I don't know, at least two hours.
