Owner Sal Mastropolo took to social media, posting in the Goshen, NY Facebook group to explain the situation regarding the recent fire that devastated Authentic Antique Lumber, noting that the insurance doesn't cover the rebuilding of the structure or the cost of demoltion and that he started a GoFundMe to help rebuild and keep the Business going.

Hi everyone, some of you may or may not know me, I am the owner of Authentic Antique Lumber, LLC, We recently had a fire that destroyed our sanding and epoxy building. Unfortunately, while we have insurance, it won’t cover rebuilding the structure or the cost of demolition. I started a GoFundMe to help us rebuild and keep our Business going. We have orders to fill and half of our workspace has been destroyed. Any support, whether it’s a donation or just sharing the link, would really mean the world to me and all of us. Hopefully I’ll find a way to send love back to everyone who helps, even if it’s an engraved coaster or cutting board, or a piece of wood to start your DIY project. Thank you

The GoFundMe can be seen here. So far nearly $4,000 has been raised at the time this article is being written, with the campaign hoping to meet a goal of $60,000. One person who donated commented, "Sorry for your hard times... Always had a great experience with your store. Hope you're back up and running soon."

The fire reportedly tore through the sanding and epoxy building of Authentic Antique Lumber, LLC, leaving it destroyed. They lost everything that was in the shop Mastropolo says, from tools, equipment, customer projects, and the entire space where they do much of the work. A vehicle was also destroyed.

Are These the Best, Most Fun "Retro" Furniture Stores in Upstate New York? We Think So!

Remember when couches were purple, dinette sets were bright red, and living room lampshades came in every color of the rainbow? If you do, your are a Baby Boomer and we have found your old furniture at these great Upstate New York retro stores!

And if you lived through those times, you have to remember when everybody thought, "Thank God!" when those styles went, well, out of style! So, how could they ever come back to being one the hottest collectible styles of furniture today? The answer is simple.

We all got old.

We yearn for the good old days, which seemed simpler and better (OK, put your rose colored glasses down). The furniture, which dawned at the infancy of the Space Age, was zany in design, dazzling in color, and made your home look modern and fun. So why not bring it all back. Can you believe what happened to vinyl records?

These stores are among the best in Upstate New York that sell the Mid-Century Modern furniture that our parents' had. We want them now. And these stores are stocked to the walls with anything you need to enter the "way back machine" and relive the days of your youth with original furniture and accessories from the 1940s-1980s.
