Hidden gems for those who live for the thrill of the hunt, but not always easy since it requires real skill to bring historical goods back to life
This place is a must see if you enjoy vintage architecture salvage! Beautiful displays and items. Bought vintage corbels & hardware. Great price! Call before you go. Since the pandemic its by appointment. Not sure if it has changed.
This is the best place that we have found to buy architectural pieces and fences to fit an historic renovation.The store is well laid out and neat, making it easy to find what one is looking for. Their inventory is terrific.Molly and her husband are a joy to work with. They are most pleasant and and have worked to help find the exact pieces that we have been looking for.I cant recommend Columbus Architectural Salvage more.
This is a gem of a place! Amazing finds, tons of wonderful pieces but the people who were there were not nice the first time I went. We dropped by about 20 minutes before closing and the first person we saw gave us a look and told us they were closing soon. No hello and welcome, just rudeness. So if you can get past that... then youve found yourself a wonderland of stuff :)
Love the products, so many one-of-a-kind things that cant be easily found anywhere else. Good customer service. Prices on some items seem a little bit high even taking into account rarity and age, but we will definitely shop again.
Staff is nice and helpful. Selection is very good, but I think that’s because their prices are so high that there isn’t much stock turnover. I’ve seen the same items there for months gathering dust.This is more of a ‘replacement’ salvage, because buying more than one piece of anything here is extremely unaffordable. Also, they don’t do discounts for large orders or haggle on prices. I know they pay for the items for sale (vs Goodwill and the like) so they have to get something for them, but as someone trying to restore an old home, I have to shop elsewhere to be able to afford the pieces they sell.I also wish they had better hours for people who work a 8-5 job because I can only come here on Saturdays.If you need one piece of something to replace something that broke, this is a great place because they’re almost guaranteed to have it. Otherwise it’s more of a museum that’s fun to explore.
If you own an old house this is the place to find those quality odds and ends that are no longer produced. From locks, keys, door knobs, hinges, doors, windows, mantels, woodwork and much more. There is also an abundance of unique furniture and decor pieces if you are looking to make a statement. The prices are a little high in my opinion, but much cheaper than having something reproduced to match. Staff was friendly and helpful without being bothersome. I have my eye on a fireplace mantel if it goes on sale...
We were looking for older ventilation grates to match our older house. We didnt get exact matches, but we got some that were similar Style. We were pretty happy with their organization inside the store. It was also easy to find and parking was available.
Bought some small items here before. Large place, many items but unrealistic high prices. Started to follow on Facebook market place, told them i was traveling a long distance to purchase an item and what did we need to do before hand. Read my message and removed the item with ZERO communication. Tell me its sold, tell me what steps are involved, tell me to F off. Tell me something just dont ignore someone whos bought from you and be completely unprofessional. I will never again shop online with them or in that showroom.
Love this place! They have everything you need to work on an old home. Doors, hardware, windows, keys, fencing, gates, tin ceiling tiles, lighting, and much, much more. The sales associates are very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended!
This is a really fun place to shop, but theyre a little proud of their stuff!! Sometimes theyre willing to haggle over prices, other times theres no wiggle room. Same thing for paying with cash.
Lot of very unique items. Last time I was there they had a giant Roman-like statue. When you first visit you get the feeling that youve found some hidden gem. That being said, you probably wont find any deals but if youre looking for one-of-a-kind furnishings, this is the place to go.
Dont get low balled!!! I took what I suspected was a pretty good find here to sell and was offered $50 for a fireplace mantle. I held onto it for a couple more days but grew tired of hauling it around in my job trailer and reluctantly went back suspecting it would probably be sold for 800 - 1200 dollars but was told that was not the case. However, I just found it on the website listed for $950!! I completely understand that he has to make money and nobody held a gun to my head to sell it but its still pretty shady business in my eyes. Oh well, lesson learned. Next time Ill have a bonfire with it instead.
This is a very cool place to check out if you need any rather large pieces to complete a remodel. Prices are expensive, but theres absolutely no other place youll find these one of a kind items. Lots of wooden doors, claw-foot tubs and lighting.
This is the one place to find great quality, woodwork, stain glass, and the very very unusual, down to brass fittings (Chris has drawers full). We have been putting together an old Victorian for 6 years -- it is almost perfect thanks to them. Eliza and Gene the Neil Avenue Bed and Breakfast.
Such an incredible store with some of the most unique pieces I have ever seen. Worth the trip to look for something specific or just to enjoy a walk down memory lane when you see all of the original and vintage pieces.
Very neat place, but seemed very pricey. It would be a good place to go if you needed something for an older house that you were trying to match, just know you will pay pretty highly for it
Great store with great items for the unique restoration or remodel. I would say on the higher side of the price range but they did find the items and have to cover costs of the showroom. Thanks!
Wonderful place with unique finds.
Very cool store (I could and have spent hours there), but a little pricy. The prices may be justified though as they will more than likely have what you need and save you the time and fuel hunting.
Always a really cool selection of stuff! I took my mom, who has been working on renovating my parents’ century home, and it was like watching a kid in a candy shop!
Eclectic and fun stuff for home decor you wont find anywhere else.
Absolutely awesome! So much to see... All interesting pieces and in excellent condition. If you cant find it here, it hasnt been designed yet. Lol...
One of my favorite reuse stores for furniture or DIY projects. Also a great place to find skeleton keys for old locks!
Went here on a whim! Great find. Lots of items to look at. Many old and unusual items ready to re purpose.
Very interesting place. Can find a little it of everything if u like different things. B
By appointment only. Good inventory. Limited staff. Great finds!
Awesome place. A little pricey, but they have great stuff.
Columbus Architectural Salvage is a treasure hunt. Beautiful, beautiful salvaged architectural pieces of history waiting for a new home! Youll also find a wonderful, helpful staff!
Great unique place for real restorative hardware, amazing one of a kind vintage pieces, highly recommended, excellent , kind, competent staff.
Ordered some parts that I guess got lost in the mail, but they did the right thing and sent me to other parts. A Good Company to do business with !
Very cool place!!! A wide selection of antique building materials and accessories.
Great stuff but the prices seemed quite high. Do not know if they entertain offers though.
We visited this shop mostly to browse and get ideas for future projects. This is a treasure trove for anyone doing serious renovation work.
Beautiful and unique items but be prepared to pay the price. $$$
All kinds of good salvage finds, like the most rewarding treasure hunt. looking forward to many more visits
Great store, much larger than it looks from the street. Zero pressure, just roam around and see what they have.
Antiques galore,,antique play ground..prices not bad on old floor heat grates..IMHO

2022-06-22Came across this place by accident while I was on a bike ride. Seen their sign and was intrigued, so we decided to go in and check it out. They have so much antique stuff for houses. From the tools to the hardware and everything in between. We were there for about an hour or more and still didnt get to see all the cool stuff they have. We will definitely be going back.

2022-01-04Im incredibly disappointed in this business. On Thursday, December 30th, two African American women called ahead and said they would be there before 5:00 (when they closed.). The person who answered the phone told them if theyre not there by 5:00, she would not wait.These two ladies arrived at 4:56 p.m. . The light was still on inside (I know this because I was there waiting on them myself). When they rang the bell and knocked on the door, the person inside shut the light off.Apparently, this business is doing so well they can turn away over $1,000 in business and shut the light off on customers before they even officially close for the day.Note, Im not accusing them of anything. I am merely stating facts. You can draw your own conclusions.

2021-08-29If you love old buildings and antiques, its a must - visit.Staff: friendly and helpfulPrices: most items are out of my price range, but Im not a professional in the antique business so I dont know if theyre fair.Selection: excellent. You want an antique door/tub/sink/light/fireplace/staircase and theyve probably got it.Overall: Theyre doing good work preserving history and keeping material out of landfills! Thanks all.

2018-07-31Excatly what it says on the tin: theyve salvaged house parts, mostly from Victorian and Queen Anne (and a few Federalist style) old houses, and will now sell them to you. Need drawer pulls, transoms, door frames, stained glass windows, or old clawfoot tubs? This is your joint. They also have some odd but lovely furniture pieces like a beautifully refinished writers desk .... And a barbers chair. Highly recommend if you love junk shops, home improvement, antiquing, architecture, or scavenger hunt. The staff is very friendly, and very patient.

2022-01-07I forgot a mask when I went to shop today and they made me pay $1 for a mask to be able to enter. Seriously?! Won’t be going back.

2021-10-18The staff was not very personal and seemed as if there antique place was better than others. They were firm on there price, which mostly was very high , and really didnt know much of there own inventory . I have found much better items elsewhere and they work with you in order for you to come back . I will not be coming back here again.
