The glass overhead doors are in! And I’d be lying if I denied wanting to repeatedly press the buttons to make these beauties glide up and down, over and over.
But back to the point… Custom Overhead Doors did a great job installing these doors, which are frankly stunning. I suspect they’ll be the cause of some double-takes by passersby once the food hub is unveiled.
More than just a modern reproduction of their 1950’s predecessors, the doors bring an openness to the building that hasn’t existed for decades. Prior tenants obscured the building’s glass features – window panes, glass-paneled bay doors, and store front windows – transforming it into an impermeable fortress designed to keep people out.
But we’re changing all that. Part of Reinvestment Partners’ revitalization of this East Durham community, the Bull City Cool food hub is designed to bring people together around local, healthy food.
