Rich in history...
Our building at 515 N. Clay Street is part of the rich history of Salisbury, North Carolina. In our parking lot you can see remnants of the East Franklin Street railroad spur, an old rail line that is mostly buried in this neighborhood. Additionally, the old Diamond Cotton Mills building still stands where remains of the railroad can be seen. Running parallel to the street is the track that served the Diamond Mills (someone is currently refurbishing this sprawling set of buildings!) and continued across the road, through the property at Rowan Canning Company, and on to the historic Kesler Mill (now demolished). The track is encased in the asphalt where the spur crossed the street and passed along the Rowan Canning Company building that existed in 1922.
Our lot was the site of the Rowan Canning Company from 1916 to 1922. There were several deed transfers, finally building our existing building in 1940. The Rowan-Salisbury School system owned the buildings from 1953 until 2018 when we were able to purchase the property. We are honored to run the business we love out of a building that has a story, much like many of our furniture pieces.

MEET DAVID & DARBY
We are a husband and wife team that started this business 13 years ago in the basement of our MCM home. David's love for high end mid century furniture, most especially Danish, became a passion, and ultimately a business. We hunt and gather these pieces for you, spend countless hours removing the life dirt, sanding and returning these pieces back to their original state.
We list all of our finished pieces on our IG at @dsrmidcenturyfurniture and FB at DSR Vintage Furniture. We sell many pieces online and even sell requested pieces without ever listing them as we keep a wish list for our customers.
