North Carolina, USA - 'Saving history from the bulldozer and the landfill one nail, one board at a time. That's the effort behind the non-profit, Architectural Salvage of Greensboro. Volunteers regularly come together to deconstruct buildings and save the pieces for resale.

It might look old and dilapidated, but volunteers with Architectural Salvage of Greensboro see treasures in behind the old doors. Over the last 17 years, the group has salvaged more than 100 buildings, 90% of which were in Guilford County. What makes this project even more unique is the fact that it's all done by volunteers,' reports Stephanie Stilwell for News Carolina.
