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?
Beyond door hardware – I need a door! I’ve been looking for a narrow (24 inch wide) and tall (no limit on height) interior door for a long time. Inset glass lights would be cool, although they wouuld have to be opaque glass and only on the top half (we’re building a pocket door into a bathroom). Something old with character would be great! We’ll be out on Saturday looking around…
Mix n’ match interior door hardware (hinges, door plates, knobs, strike plates, etc), please!
Mid-century modern can look great in a brownstone. Not quite sure what your beef is…
Hey I have a old crappy lamp like that. Get over it your brownstone way of life is not so great. LONG LIVE ARNE JACOBSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we’ll pass that along to Demolition Depot–pretty sure they have some…
I’ve been looking for old fashion post office boxes( with keys of course)- would love to know if anyone has one
Yes, “ps 11 clinton hill” takes me to a different address on Clermont. (Which is actually PS 42)
Ever heard of google?

What’s the address of PS 11? It’s not on the website or anywhere I can find.
