Specializing in architectural woodwork including decorative moulding, columns, balusters, corbels, and more, the historic family-owned company is shutting down after more than a century.
A new documentary directed and produced by filmmaker and photographer Joshua Charrow takes viewers on one final walk-through of the factory.
“My grandfather bought these molds used, and they were used,” Lupo explains.
Throughout the film, Charrow follows Lupo around the building, documenting the owner’s favorite pieces and timeless anecdotes.
