This place is literal gold. I saw a man review this store and it said "it's what you expect, over priced and nothing you need or can use here." What a dumb thing to say Ricky T! We are currently restoring a home built in 1895 and this store is like a buried treasure chest. There are SO many lighting options, old doors (for days!) fixtures, pieces, odds and ends... EVERYTHING you could possibly need for your old home. And the prices?! Literally beyond fair and reasonable. Finding 100 year old chandeliers for $1500??? That's an INCREDIBLE price as they can go for $15k. I recommend this store to antique lovers and old house owners. Don't be fooled by snarky reviews from those who have no business or respect being among such old beauty!

Good place for all your Old Home needs. Just wish they kept more Americana and less Mexican stuff because if I wanted that I could go to Mexico and get it seeing how I was born there. We come here to conserve our vintage American homes and it's nerve-wrecking not knowing if something is actually from Mexico. Also the loud Mexican music that guy used to play stopped the day I was there but I have PTSD thinking about that guy.This is a neat store and deserves a visit, pleas do us all a favor and pass on your home treasures for others to use. I had a hard time looking for wood panels, imagine if we all knew to save our things for when someone else might need them! I love that there is a section for postcards and the like. So neat! You can see so much history there: magazines, newspapers, photos, what a treasure.Also check out the stoves and heaters, I found an amazing stove here, at the right price too, made my year!

I love this place! Lots of good finds, you just need to make sure to take the time to look and shop around all the buildings and aisles. Great place to get outdoor garden decor such as iron art. They also have some restored items like vintage bath tubs and doors. Beautiful collections! Also a great place to get a gift if you have someone that loves home decor!

Absolutely fell in love with the nostalgia and options for old homes. I pieced together a solid wood door, antique lock, glass knob handles & strike plate to match, for a customer renovation in the hospital district. Very well organized, friendly staff, and a good value on many items.

Ralph and his family deliver on the unique and historic architectural salvage. Those hard to find elements for your authentic restoration. I have a 1918 building and I got all my lighting and devote from here.

This shop, or should I say set of shops, sits on an intersection and takes off up all four corners of this intersection in a long established neighborhood. The buildings are vintage themselves, however, everything in the shops isn't. There is a lot of building salvage on site, however it's mixed with a good bit of newer handmade items made to look old as well as a handful of old items handcrafted and repurposed to perform other tasks. There was a lot of repurposed items made into lighting fixtures. They have a lot of doors! I'll say that. A good handful of windows and frames. Found absolutely NO stained glass. There was a lot of hardware, not very many drawer pulls that would be classified as old or vintage, yet they had a lot still in bags that haven't been used, but were made to look old. There was a lot of lighting, some old, some vintage, some repurposed handmade, some newer, ALL were extremely overpriced. The smallest hanging light, which is what we went for, was just over $100, yet they sale the same exact light at Lowes for almost half that price. Regarding prices, as a renovator, I've been to many architectural salvage lots from Oklahoma to Texas and this one, altho it covers large area, it doesn't have quite the selection of old repurposeful items that the others have, what they do have is priced way higher than the other areas in town. A lot of the items here are priced beyond normal retail. This is the bulk of our dissatisfaction with this place, that combined with the lack of true salvaged parts from buildings being disassembled. Seems like they grabbed what they could easily take out and left some of the more desirable items that other salvage shops have. Only had one set of columns, the trim selection was very small, old drawer pulls were limited to the old white handle pulls, the was no stained glass windows, old metal ceiling tiles were extremely limited and what we did find were out in nature rusting away, found a LOT of doors with very little framing, no stairways, didn't find any spindles, only a handful of old vintage appliances.... I could go on. We were just not happy with what they had especially for the prices they were asking. It was a neat place to visit, we won't be returning tho. There is a better place in Waxahachie that has some really hard stuff to find and isn't overpriced.

Start here if you are looking for old doors, hardware, or other supplies for an old home. Sometimes I just walk through the place for inspiration. I don’t always find what I need but always find something I want. The prices are generally reasonable and if the price seems high then I ask for a better deal. I’ve never had an issue with the staff/family that runs the place. They are always helpful, sometimes in a smart-alecky way, but helpful.
