Architectural Salvage

I love checking out this store! For great decorating ideas it’s the best. Currently for sale to a responsible owner.

EXPENSIVE! Far too expensive, but very organized and very kind owners. A box of tiles for 600.00, old mantels above 6,000.00, and you know the old crystal door knobs? They go for 60.00 to over 80.00 a pair. Just far to expensive when your wanting to go green, recycle and save a little with your project. Also, They are not in the Denver Metro area. They are in the industrial area towards the old air port. I was just so sad I drove for hours in traffic to be slapped in the face by sticker shock! Oh, old doors, nothing to fab. 400.00 or more. You can buy the same doors for 20.00 at habitat for humanity!

Just fine

This is by far, the best architectural salvage shop in Colorado. Hard to find items can be found here — and the owners are always helpful when you need some help finding that one specific thing you need. Not to mention — this place is so organized! It makes shopping there fun and quick, if needed. It is one of the most cleaned up/​organized salvage shops that you will find.
I see that some people are saying the prices are ridiculous, I don’t agree. Sure, I guarantee that you could find some of the same items online for a few bucks cheaper, but are they in as good of shape? I just ordered an antique door-​hinge online a few days ago and when it came in the mail, it is not how it was described… hence why I always prefer to shop local… at the Salvage Lady!
Also — it’s a cool place to grab some vintage items for making a crafty gift — I would definitely recommend checking it out.

A very nice assortment of early 1800 to early 1900 architectural pieces, including doors, windows, lamps and hardware. Easy to get to off of Colorado Blvd, plentiful parking, and the owners are very good about putting items on hold.

We came looking for some old Craftsman interior doors that we found on the store’s website but were told the info was incorrect. A new website is supposed to be up and running next week that should eventually have updated stock info.
The prices looked good: $ 30 – 60 per door (very simple doors). You will pay good money for antique tiles and wrought iron fixtures; but there are some OK prices for old tin ceiling panels (up to $ 3/​sq ft).
Once the website is back on track, this is a good place to shop for your old home, but not always a bargain.

Make sure you’ve got several hundreds $$$ if not thousands at your disposal upon setting foot in the door.
To say the prices are astronomical is an understatement. Perhaps due to the recession curtailing home improvement projects & the need for revenue enhancement by some specialty shops.
Was in the market for basically everything for my newly purchased 1902 built home. Bath fixtures, vanities, fireplace mantle, chandeliers, wrought iron fencing, furniture, interior doors… but prices were at least double or triple what you’d find online.
The shop itself may be worth it to get ideas, it’s like touring the Smithsonian. Has a museum quality that really takes you back in time… next time you happen to be cruising through Commerce City.

If you old an old home, this is a must on your list of places to go. Betsy and her husband salvage many of Denver’s best treasures. Everything from hard to find molding, iron railing or church pews. My husband and I own an old Denver Square and visit Betsy regularly when embarking on home improvement projects. They also do consignment. So if you are remodeling your home and thinking about throwing out the old claw foot tub, antique oven or old doors — think again. You can bring it to Architectural Salvage have them sell it for you.
