Brownstoner's First Annual Salvage Fest on Saturday!

The countdown begins: Three more days until Salvage Fest 2007! On Saturday, September 8 (September 9 if it’s raining), all the architectural salvage dealers in the New York City area will be coming together in the school yard of PS 11 in Clinton Hill (at Washington and Greene Avenues) from 10 am to 4 pm to serve up a delicious array of old building parts, fixtures and lighting. Who will be there? Williamsburg’s own Moon River Chattel, Chelsea’s (by way of Scranton) Olde Good Things, Harlem’s Demolition Depot, Astoria’s Build It Green, Clinton Hill’s Eddie’s Salvage, and Bed Stuy’s Reclaimed Home; Philly-based Old Soul Architectural Salvage and Virginia-based Architectural Salvage News will also be in the house. In addition, Build It Green will have a drop-off station for recycling any odd building materials you may have lying around so bring over that box of tiles that’s been taking up space in your basement since you finished you bathroom renovation five years ago! Unfortunately, there will not be any way for individuals to sell there own pieces of architectural salvage. Admission is free—as are Brownstoner bumper stickers for the first 100 people to show up. Any last-minute requests for items?
