St Vincent de Paul Deconstruction Depot
The St. Vincent de Paul Deconstruction Depot in partnership with Dayton Works Plus LLC will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, November 7, 2009 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The grand opening will provide Dayton and the surrounding community a first glance at the inventory of reusable building materials recovered from the vacant homes being deconstructed in our community. The planning of the project was funded by J.P. Morgan & Chase. The deconstruction project is being funded by the City of Dayton through the use of Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds. Other partners include East End Community Services, PowerNet, and Architectural Reclamation Company ARC.
The Deconstruction Depot is located at the St. Vincent de Paul Community Store at 945 S. Edwin C. Moses Boulevard in Dayton next to The Job Center and houses over 5,000 square feet of reclaimed building materials including doors, window frames, oak lumber, fireplace mantels, fixtures and more. The St. Vincent de Paul Deconstruction Depot features a diverse inventory of used building materials for architects, contractors and homeowners alike at bargain prices. Proceeds from the sales of the materials will fund the deconstruction of additional homes in the community.
In the United States, building construction consumes 60 percent of our raw materials and accounts for 40 percent of the solid waste stream. By deconstructing buildings rather than demolishing them Dayton Works Plus and the Deconstruction Depot are allowing materials to be reused in other building and renovation projects, diverting waste, creating jobs and protecting natural resources.
