Of the "Architectural Salvage" type places I have been, this is sadly at the bottom of my list. The window front displays were very well done. Granted this is a small scale shop so with that in mind, I felt the selection was limited. For lamp pieces fitment etc your likely going to have more luck doing a Google search and ordinary it offline or from a lamp store. The hardware was over priced, this is even by New York City standards. Which is what I came here for, when a simple Eastlake style cast iron bin pull that is not stamped or a rare pattern, is $20+ for a single piece its over priced. A simple sash pull, which one can buy at Ace Hardware for $3-6 is $10 here for a small one. New York City, New Orleans, Baltimore, Toledo, Cincinnati, Chicago all have better prices. They do have a large supply of trim, so if you need a specific design for your home they likely have it. The furnace grates are OVERPRICED, example a plain cast iron grate with rust and chippy paint: 10 x 8 is $100, with a wayfair printout comparing the price of a new one; for one identical in Chicago or Cincinnati at one of the salvage places is at best $50-60. In New Orleans your looking at $30-40. In Baltimore $25-40. Overall a disappointment

My niece and I had just been next door at a lovely antique shop (Kalamazoo Antique Market) and stopped in Heritage Architectural Salvage today to see if we could find a glass shade for a lamp. The proprietor seemed to be doing everything he could to discourage us from entering the store. He told my niece that none of his glass shades would fit a newer lamp (ridiculous), that it was unlikely that he had any that were on sale separate from a lamp base (not true - we could see quite a few against the wall to our left), and that we would have better luck at a lighting store. Perhaps he was put off because we had kids with us...or perhaps because my niece is black. In any case, while it appeared that they had a broad variety of inventory -- I would be reluctant to recommend this store due to the owners unpleasant disposition, and possibly prejudicial attitudes.

This is a great place to find the unique architectural pieces and some furniture. Stop by the antique mall next door too -- there are lots of dealers -- and even some spoon rings made from antique silverware by a local Kalamazoo artist.

Plenty of gems to be found here. No haggling, but the nice guys at the counter took the price down by 25% as we were checking out.
