The Brooklyn-based building-supply company Green Depot recently opened its doors at 222 Bowery, a landmarked building formerly home to the city's first YMCA and the studios of downtown artists and authors in decades past.

As for practicing what they purvey, the company renovated the space using mostly products from their own shelves, and the store is a candidate for LEED certification.
