Rescued Relics Is An Alabama Maker That Salvages A City’s History

By Tommy Black

Rescued Relics, Montgomery

The Maker: Carole King

Helped by a group of dedicated volunteers, Carole King is saving Montgomery’s past – one window, door, bathtub, mantelpiece and light fixture at a time. As curator of the city’s Old Alabama Town living history museum and Montgomery Landmarks Foundation’s “Rescued Relics” warehouse, King runs a unique business that saves period architectural pieces from renovated buildings, and offers them for sale to the public. All of the proceeds go to help maintain Old Alabama Town, a six-block collection of late 19th and early 20th century homes, churches, schools and other buildings.
