Musician Amy Birdsong and I were recently lost in Brooklyn trying to find our way back to Manhattan when we stumbled upon Bill Cullen's private storage space of found materials. Cullen is a renovation contractor who has been salvaging materials for the past thirty years and shipping them away for storage in this space on Washington Avenue. Many items have not been viewed in years and Cullen is selling everything since he is soon vacating the space. There is an interesting story behind each find.
