Original Parquet Flooring Stock - Any Recommendations Appreciated

Dear Brownstoners, can anyone please recommend places in Brooklyn where I could find some old parquet flooring stock (i believe its red oak, see picture below for actual floor) that would match the floors from the early 1900s parquet floors that are common place in most original townhouses. As most of you know over time some of the wood around the radiators needs to be replaced so we dont need a ton but any suggestions, especially those companies that you know has something like what we are looking for would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Try Build It Green!NYC they sometimes have some reclaimed flooring (they have two warehouses of salvaged building materials one in Queens and another in Bklyn). [http://bignyc.org/inventory/flooring](http://bignyc.org/inventory/flooring) Also try craigslist, that’s a hit or miss. Carlos

Yes, there just was a post about this. Here’s what thetinkerswagon recommended: East Side Flooring on 124 St in the city has piles of the stuff. Now, Queensboro flooring at Mcguinness Blvd and the BQE had a bundle or two lying in their warehouse a year or so ago and I asked him about it and he told me they try to keep a little around. But generally, East Side.
