G&J Styles has new home
Larry Thomas -- Furniture Today, October 17, 2006
At The Market — G&J Styles, a marketer of European antiques and antique reproductions, has signed a contact to purchase a two-story building at 212 N. Wrenn St. that once housed High Point's first fire station.
The company is using the first floor of the 5,500-square-foot building as a showroom at market and plans to renovate both floors as showroom space in time for the spring market.
"It's a building we've admired for a long time. It's absolutely perfect for us," said President Richard Jordan.
Jordan said G&J will keep its 8,000-square-foot showroom at 212 N. Main St., across the street from the Wrenn Street property.
The Wrenn Street building, built in 1902, had been vacant for about a year but has been used as showroom space in the past, said Ivan Garry, the Brown Investment Properties broker who handled the transaction.
Garry said the building was purchased from the estate of Jake Froelich, a longtime furniture industry executive and showroom developer who died in 2003. Froelich used the building as his business office for many years.
Originally, the building housed a municipal fire crew called Hose Company 1.
