New York City's American Wood Column Corporation, a century-old family business, is closing its doors after 110 years. Specializing in intricate woodwork, the company produced everything from decorative mouldings to iconic set designs for Saturday Night Live and The Godfather. Filmmaker Joshua Charrow’s documentary offers a final tour of this craftsmanship hub.

Inside, 6,000 handmade molds line the walls. These reverse carved treasures are believed to be over 200 years old, purchased by Lupo's grandfather in their used state. The factory is filled with family lore and youthful memories of growing up amidst the woodwork.

Lupo, now aware he too must step aside, acknowledges the inevitable changes brought by time. His loyal team, who have been with him for almost 40 years, are also ready to retire gracefully. 'Everything changes,' he reflects. This closure is not just a business end but a cultural one, reflecting the broader shift from traditional craftsmanship to modern manufacturing.

Apart from the six-foot pencils and department store columns, the factory holds unique pieces like those used in The Exorcist stairway scenes. These artifacts encapsulate over a century of American architectural history, now facing extinction as the last column maker retires.
