[OMS_MANAGERS] Looking for someone to point us towards historical lighting sources

[Timothy Bishop]

Jenny, two companies that have been helpful on many of the projects I’ve worked on over the years are

Rejuvenations https://www.rejuvenation.com/stores/us-or-portland/?cm_src=OLDLINK
And Hippo Hardware https://www.hippohardware.com/
Both in Portland.

You might also check Revival Lighting https://revivallighting.com/ In Spokane.  Several projects that I worked with used them and they tend to carry a lot of art modern, Art Deco, and CCC era fixtures.

If memory serves Rejuvenations’ and Revival both offer retrofitting services, so that may be an option if the fixtures are still in good shape but it’s the wiring and switches that need to be upgraded.

Hope that’s helpful and gives you a place to start.

Main Street colleagues,

One of our partners here on Wallowa Main Street is a nonprofit engaged in renovating a 1930s Forest Service compound constructed by the CCC. They’re currently working on the building that was formerly the Ranger’s residence. Due to flooding and extensive mold issues the building had to be gutted and they are putting it back together to look much like it did when originally constructed in the 1930s. They held onto the original 1930s light fixtures removed during the demo. Unfortunately, due to code issues they can’t use the original light fixtures because they are not "UL rated." They are having difficulty find new fixtures that look as close as possible to the originals but are "UL rated."

Do you know of some I could connect them with who could point them towards historic reproduction light fixture sources?
