You can try Architectural Artifacts on the North side in Ravenswood. They have a mismash of items but there are definate gems to be found http://www.architecturalartifacts.com. Also there are demolition sales for area homes where you show up with tools, buy and haul away lots of good items. They can be found at www.demolitionsales.com

I know there is at least one other reclaim/resale shop, but the name slips my mind now.

I don't have a store, but I do have several salvaged doors from a tear-down next door.



The front door is Oak with 3 glass panes and 2 panels.  It has the original Brass hinges, knobs and lock.  It is ~78" high x 35 & 3/4" wide x 1 & 3/4" thick.  It has the original stained finish - NOT painted.


The interior doors have 2 panels and 2 Brass hinges and hardware.  They are all about 80" high and 1 & 3/8" thick.  4 are 30" wide and 3 are 26" wide.  They are Birch wood.  These are also stained, NOT painted.


I am in one of the close-in suburbs of Chicago, on the Southwest side.


I hope they might fit your need.    Thanks,   George

you might also want to try Jan's Antiques in the West Loop - Fulton and Racine

There's also a flea market on Randolph/Ogden - usually on the last Sunday each month.
