Shoe House Restoration a Success


The World’s Largest Shoe House refurbishment and shoe drive was a wonderful success. Members of the community donated a generous amount of shoes to Soles4Souls that kept the local volunteers busy for two days. In fact, the turn-out was so great that the Shoe House owner would like to hold a shoe drive on an ongoing basis.

The restoration of the Shoe House also went very well. Some 20 volunteers from Hampton Hotels’ “Save-A-Landmark” program dug in their heels in an estimated 84-hour restoration effort. The employee volunteers cleaned, primed and painted the five-story work boot. They also restored its historic stain glass windows and painted the Shoe House’s fence.
