ABOUT THE GREENBOX
The GreenBox was found neglected in our neighborhood during redevelopment several years ago. After some research, the GreenBox was discovered to be a WWII era mobile military office. After its use by the U.S. military, it was discarded in Olympia, Washington. A Garden City resident – a long haul truck driver – adopted it and transported it on a trailer to a location behind her home to be used as a garden shed for many years. Instead of its life ending in demolition, the GreenBox was rediscovered and repurposed in February 2018 and granted a new life. The GreenBox lives on and now serves a much higher purpose, here in Garden City’s Live-Work-Create District, steps away from Surel’s Place around the corner on North Carr Street.
