Baltimore Salvage

Naturally when I was in D.C., I had to slip off to Baltimore, to check out the architectural salvage. There's a lot of good architectural salvage in Baltimore--though according to some--most comes out of D.C..
Second Chance, Inc., a non profit, operates five warehouses along Warner Street, with over 100,000 square feet to explore. I picked up these porcelain brackets there, amongst the largest and most unique I've ever seen.





A few blocks away, Housewerks (1415 Bayard St.) operates in a former gas works. A little more boutique-y, Housewerks showcases industrial and large scale items, as well as simple house parts. I snapped up a subway tile tissue holder there.






My wife suggested recently that I take a short vacation, "maybe to the mountains or up the coast..."
"Or to Buffalo", I interjected.
"Because there's salvage, " she asked
"I've always wanted to go the Albright-Knox."
"And there's salvage?"
"A park system designed by the Olmsteads."
"And salvage."
"I could stay at the Roycroft Inn."
"Salvage?"
"Wellll, there is a guy with some sinks in Niagara."
