Queen City Architectural Salvage

"I have never been able to enter this place because it is always closed. How does one get in? The hours of operation need to be taken with a grain of salt."

"Never around. When you do find something you want to buy, he tells you "it's not for sale""

"The owner of this yard is a hoarder, and like all hoarders he over-values his junk. This is not the place to go if you hope to find a deal. The sad part is that only a small portion of the hoard is adequately protected from the weather. Most of it is decaying beyond use, particularly anything wooden. There's a bounty of hinges, mixed with door locks and other random scraps, in dilapidated dressers where the drawers are twisted and stuck in a semi-open state. There's a fair selection of hanging light fixtures that could possibly still be rescued. Lots of claw bathtub feet. Lots of ceramic faucet handles. My suggestion is to wait for the day that the junkyard changes hands. That day you'll find something worth saving for the right price, hopefully. Otherwise, if you want to venture there now, wear gloves to protect against sharp edges. Don't take children."

"Wonderful owner. Really fun stuff to find here"

"What a cool place! You should be able to find basically anything you can imagine (lots of clawfoot tub feet!), and most valuably Tom is a trove of knowledge. We spoke to 4 businesses who all gave us advice ranging from "you need a welder" to "you'll need to drill holes in your tub for a custom bracket installation". Turns out our old feet are totally fine and all that is needed are square nails to install...which is the original design, but apparently only Tom knew this!"
