Telluride Transfer Warehouse

The Patient Walls by Samantha Tisdel Wright for Shelter Magazine
who has skillfully composed the most comprehensive story of the past, present, and future of the Transfer Warehouse to date!

Excerpt from the article:
"The chapter of delays is done, and the chapter of construction has begun. While the interior space has been closed to events since last year, there is plenty of activity going on inside the walls. "We've been in testing mode, digging holes, exposing the bottom of the walls," Kate Jones said. Turns out, the bones of the building have all kinds of hidden tales to tell. These mysteries are now being revealed as structural forensic work at the site gets underway. Last summer's exploratory digs uncov-ered—Surprise!—an underground sandstone wall delineating a full basement in the first third of the building closest to Fir Street. The basement was likely filled in sometime in the 1930s, around the time that the Warehouse morphed from its livery stable days into a filling station and garage. Sophisticated radar and LiDAR imaging technology mapped the exterior and interior layers of the sandstone walls, and the loose rubble fill and empty spaces within, confirming the existence of the building's original ventilation system. Vertical vents ran along the walls from the historic basement, up into what was once the hayloft, to pull cold air in and circulate it throughout the building. The system was considered to be quite cutting edge at the time. Now, a new generation of state-of-the-art construction methods will protect the old walls by bringing them up to modern engineering standards."
