A charming, two-story refuge in the heart of downtown, the space blends 21st century connectedness & convenience with an experiencing of 140 yrs of authentic Lynchburg history. Formerly an early 1900’s plumber's workshop, the 400 sq ft c1883 structure is lovingly restored with antique building materials to honor the stories & things of the people who called this space home for over a century.

About the host
Hosted by Julian Adams

Locally born, globally grown. I love sharing this special little Carriage House with visitors, here in the heart of our lovely little city of 7 hills!
Why they chose this property
Like almost all the recycled local materials used in the restoration, I’m from here. My grandfather started a car business in 1932 just across the street in the heart of the great depression - as the other three car dealerships we’re going out of business. My first job was here caring for the sidewalks along these blocks. And upon moving home from Singapore, I fell accidentally into the restoration of this beautiful old abandoned Carriage House. I’m so glad to offer visitors the chance to experience her(e) too!
What makes this property unique
The restoration is almost exclusively done using locally, reclaimed, recycled building materials from Lynchburg‘s cherished old homes, including the main house on this property, which partially burned in 2015, and was dismantle by hand. Old beams, old bricks, old granite street curbs, old wood, an old claw foot tub, the plumbing workbench that was originally here - the list goes on! Come see.
