TerraMai is fortunate to be involved of the renovation and reclamation of the historic 900 Minnesota Building in San Francisco, California. This project has yielded a fantastic array of Douglas fir beams, lumber and vertical grain flooring as well as solid wood doors, large glass partitions and many light fixtures.

The 900 Minnesota building, located in the Dogpatch Historic District along San Francisco's central waterfront, was originally the C. Schilling & Co. Wine Cellars and most recently headquarters of the Esprit de Corp clothing company. The wood in this project is exceptional in many ways.

In addition to being an amazing collection of old-growth Douglas fir, many of the large timbers in the building were previously reclaimed in the 1970s from an old sawmill in the historic lumber town of Westwood, CA, which was founded in 1905 by the Red River Lumber Company. This will be the second round of recycling for some of the largest and most beautiful pieces in the project.
