At the conclusion of World War II, Charles Orr set out to build a new business in post-war Dallas. Determind not to waste his capital, primarily his mustering-out pay from the Army, he partnered with his friend James Reed, who had a little money raised from selling a herd of goats, to open a new business. Together the two meen formed Orr Reed Wrecking in 1946. Orr Reed Wrecking has been deconstructing/demolishing many of Dallas' finest old homes and businesses in the 62 years since that time. From the beginning, the company's leaders recognized not only the profitability of saving Dallas' history, but also, more importantly, the social benefits of recycling and preserving the architectural heritage of Dallas. Today Orr Reed continues to supply the public with treasures such as antique lumber, architectural doors and mantels, hardwood flooring, wrought iron fencing, architectural elements of all types, and plenty of "good ol' junk."
