Life in the Slow Lane
Schmitt Furniture
the foundation laid by those before them serve
as guidelines for how Schmitt Furniture should
continue into the future.
It’s a fine line, keeping the buildings as original
possible while using modern architectural
techniques that will bring the business into a
new era. In the near future, residents will see the
facades undergo extensive renovations outside
to preserve the historical features of downtown
New Albany as well as structural changes inside.
It’s part of a three-and-a-half year project to
complete.
New Albany itself is an important part of
Schmitt Furniture’s history and they’re honoring
that as the buildings are overhauled.
Says Zack: “We’re definitely here after 83 years
of business because of our dedicated employees
and loyal customer base.”
