Deconstruction project for Cottage Grove farmhouse

A crew from Conscious Craft Construction carefully deconstructed the dilapidated home in the fall of 2023, salvaging as many materials as possible for reuse and even preserving artifacts such as personal letters and old bottles found in the wall.

Conscious Craft Construction was one of a handful of construction contractors who attended a 16-hour deconstruction training led by the Building Deconstruction Institute. This training was an effort to inspire and educate local contractors about sustainable practices in the industry.
