About Us

Country Road Associates has operated since 1972 and is located in the village of Millbrook, NY.  Founder Joe Rizzo came up with the idea of selling reclaimed materials while tearing down an 1860 cow barn and converting it into a home for him and his wife. During the building process, he tore down several barns in the area, utilizing their hand-hewn beams, siding, and flooring.

As we look toward the future of the environment, Country Road realizes the benefits of green building. Our products are unique because they are over a hundred years old and recycled. Unlike many recycled or environmentally friendly products, reclaimed timber does not have to compromise its timeless beauty or durability in order to be good for the environment. Unlike most of the assembly-line products of today, it is a product that only gets better with age.
