Adaptive Reuse in Colmar, PA at U-Haul Storage of Bethlehem Pike

Building History

In 1919, Morris Milstein founded The Circle Company which specialized in selling and installing top of the line flooring. The Circle Company grew steadily over time and would soon be the go-to contractor to lay hardwood floors and carpeting in iconic buildings such as the Madison Square Garden, World Trade Center, Lincoln Center, the United Nations buildings, La Guardia Airport and Rockefeller Center. Paul Milstein later inherited his father's company and would sell the business in 1968. It was at this time, that the business became a subsidiary of the National Kinney Corporation. The Milstein Carpet building in Colmar was built in 1973 and U-Haul proudly acquired the building in 1994.
