The vault is finally complete!
As some of you may know, I moved into a loft condo in a converted warehouse, and inherited a walk in vault. Apparently these were quite common in the early 20th century, as no one really trusted banks. They are also known as "book vaults", where one would keep the ledgers. 18 inch walls, original doors (quite damaged.)
Anyway - Genuwine Cellars did the installation and cooling, and Moneta Enterprises restored the doors, locks and tumblers. The bars were chromed to reduce the effect of wear. Here is the finished product.... http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/...psb227cc76.jpg Hand lettering, faithful to the original: http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/...ps92a0676b.jpg http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/...ps459be0af.jpg http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/...pscc00c597.jpg Aladdin's cave.... http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1fca0ef4.jpg |

For those of you interested, the cellar design is my Rachelle Fouillard of Genuwine cellars, who work throughout North America:
http://www.genuwinecellars.com/ (Their internet server is down this morning if the link seems broken) The door was restored by Moneta enterprises ("making things that don't exist") - they are part of "Ramp Up Manitoba" in Innovation Alley in Winnipeg. http://www.meetup.com/assentworks/members/70313522/ |
