Great staff! So happy they find and save so many beautiful antique architectural items that would have ended up in the dump.

OK! Nothing else. Just, OK!
Very overpriced. If you can find the pricing or idea if cost before pulling items from very organized locations.
Very limited on times open...so plan ahead.
Fine if need authentic. But if project can use new supplies that will be painter or stain...save money, go but new material.
Some good lighting fixture. Overpriced but a few second had interesting books, photographs, sleds, etc up in front room.
Certainly, if you know what you need. Ask..get to the point...they know the inventory! How to do it.
Not located in safe area. Heads up. Be alert!
If you are looking for items to give your home character this is the place. My customer spent $450 on 4 windows and a very nice French doors that had a ton of character. SUPER friendly, very knowledgeable, and bent over backwards to help us. Amazing customer service. Great people to do business with. Lots of great finds. We will be back.

Awesome staff, great volunteers, plenty of fun finds!

The crew here is passionate, friendly, and knowledgable. Everyone going in to buy / walking around has some sort of story and they all deserve to be heard. Everyone here offers that ear and advice, if looking for it.

The fact that so much can be saved from salvage jobs, donations, and advocating is astounding. Hope this place stays open for at least another 40 years! :)

Fantastic Finds. I particularly like their selection of vintage bathroom toilets, sinks and tubs. If you need a toilet tank from a 1920's-1960s Standard, Crane, Kohler, or even Mott- this is the place. Windows, doors, ball hinges, mortise locks, keys, porcelain and glass knobs, lighting....AND other great odds and ends in the show room. Worth the trip from anywhere. Call ahead to speak with Tom G.- he's knowledgeable and will help to guide your search and decisions. Just an FYI though its fun its not a place for young kids to wander about. Lots of peeling vintage paint (lead) and sharp edges- uneven flooring. Be sure to leave the kids with a sitter and have a day of it!

Nice assortment of older fixtures, old windows, doors, and just about everything from older homes. Some things reasonably priced but other things less expensive to buy a repro. It's definitely worth a visit and really cool place to browse if you own older home. You'll come away with something you'll love.
