Didn't have what I needed, but they have a wealth of older hardware, doors, windows, and so on.

I love this place with my entire heart and soul. I went in looking for a screw for my 1920s crystal knob and two yellow slip shades for a 1910s chandelier and they had exactly what I needed! I recognize that it is such a rarity to find 100+ year old pieces for two different projects in one go-around, but it made my home restoration projects a few steps easier. They also have a huge curated selection of windows, doors, light fixtures, and more, which makes my preservationist heart happy. The people who work here are very kind and helpful, and are just as enthusiastic about old things as I am. One day they'll have the two 30x30 gumwood windows I need for my living room

Such a fun and awesome store! I could spend a few hours in here. Wish I had room for so many of these treasures!

I stumbled upon Architectural Salvage not long after moving to San Diego in the early 2000s and it was love at first sight.I've purchased numerous treasured items for my home and the homes of others (clients) over the years. My interior design clients, even the ones with modern homes who didn't initially share my love for salvaged items, all became converts. Even the most modern of homes can benefit from Elizabeth's (the owner's) carefully curated gems.I wrote a (deservedly glowing) review for Architectural Salvage over a decade ago and felt it was time to write another due to my most recent wonderful experience there. (Photos attached.)My husband and I are lovingly restoring our 1913 South Park home. Elizabeth and the various people who work for her are truly wonderful and amazingly helpful, whether your project is large or small.Among numerous other gems, Elizabeth carries some kind of door hardware converter (I don't recall what it's called) that allows you to change the interior mechanisms of doors from one hardware type to another. As you can see in the attached photos, we were able to replace a doorknob set that looked like it belonged on a utility closet in a rundown school with a stunning (and period-appropriate) doorknob set. I had looked at multiple reproduction hardware shops because I didn't know it was possible to change the inner door mechanism and am beyond thrilled I found out (at Architectural Salvage) that this was a possibility. This stunning and substantial doorknob set was actually a fraction of the cost of buying a far less attractive reproduction.Thank you, Architectural Salvage (and lovely Elizabeth!) for continuing to inspire, amaze & delight. Our home and garden are peppered with so many Architectural Salvage gems that bring us such joy.Yours with gratitude,Felicia* AS photos on my Yelp review. :)

Great selection and very reasonable prices for vintage doors, windows, hardware and unique interior decoration ideas. Friendly, helpful staff and cool location near Italian neighborhood in San Diego.
