One of the coolest stores in Kalamazoo! Great place to find old flooring, trim, windows, stained glass... pretty much anything awesome πŸ‘Œ

This is the best place to find hardware and anything I need for my historic home. The selection is outstanding and the prices are quite reasonable. Just a really cool place to go and browse too.

What a cool spot - prices are fair to high, but if you need something hard to find youll likely get it here

Incredible place. It’s like a hardware museum - except pieces don’t go here to die, they turn up here to get new life and live again. I wrongly assumed everything would be covered in rust and was so pleased to find this was not the case. Worth driving out of your way to visit for sure. Can’t say enough great things about this place, and the folks here are just absolutely top notch people too. Can’t wait to come back.

Very nice store, lots of interesting things with super helpful staff, lots of options, and the stock is super organized - normal humans could only achieve this level of organization while on adderall.The owner pulled out bins from the back for us to search through so we could get what we needed!If that were not enough, they watch out for the geese that frequent the area to make sure they dont get run over by careless drivers!

They had the right size pine floor boards I was looking for so I could complete a repair in my 1925 farmhouse!

This place is dangerous for old house junkies like myself. They had exactly what I needed for some restoration work and were super helpful... And now Ive got my eye on a couple of furniture pieces that might come home with me in the next week or two.

Review β„–9

Definitely has great stuff, even if you usually have to dig for it. But honestly, thats the point. Weve gotten doors, trim and windows from here and got pretty much exactly what was needed every time. Yes, it feels pricey, and you have to put some elbow grease into it, but the last time I priced odd sized windows and solid wood doors at Lowes they werent cheap either. They also lacked character.

Great stuff- found two lights that really finish off my 110 yr old farmhouse bedrooms. Can’t buy new stuff anywhere near the character or quality.

Review β„–11

This place is awesome. We were looking for a strike plate similar to our 1940s house strike plates and we found one! We also found a great light fixture for our front entry. I will be going back looking for interior doors. You need to check this place out.

All kinds of neat old restoration material, stretches through 3 shops. Owner is great guy. Parking is a pain, but its like that all over Kalamazoo. Definitely worth stopping if only to browse

Review β„–13

Steph was great let me browse for as long as I liked and pointed me in the direction of some fairly obscure things I was looking for. Was there for an hour ultimately bought two small items. Rather than charge my credit card for the $5 they let me have them with the promise to come back which I will not hesitate to do!

Review β„–17

Some neat items, if I looked at other similar stores I could find the same items. Why didnt I buy from you? Simple, in business you should keep your political views to yourself and not shove them in others faces until you know them on a personal level. Its pretty clear you hate Republicans and Conservatives. Thats the way I took it when I saw your windows. But hey its your business and Ill spend my money elsewhere.

We love this place! One of our favorite stops when we are out antiquing. The staff is always helpful, insightful, and personable. The owner has always greeted us, and has helped us with many different projects on restoring our 1940’s home. The store has a huge variety of vintage and antique architecture, household accents, and replacement parts: doors, corbels, locks (my favorite), doorknobs/handles, lighting, and furniture, plus smaller antique items (I saw a really cool typewriter the last time I was there). The company is also very involved in local issues, such as preserving architectural works of art and historical sites, and lots of information on these issues and what you can do to help can be found at the store on their posters and by talking with staff. Definitely a Kalamazoo favorite.

Review β„–20

Wow, what a huge disappointment! We were so excited to make the long drive to check this place out, only to be slapped in the face with the owner’s political view covering the entire front window. Basically, if you don’t have the same view, you are a bad person. Well, guess they don’t need my money.

Excellent place to find antique architecture hardware. Prices are fair and when buying large amounts of smalls they will offer for less than sticker price. Could spend hours here just looking through all the little goodies hidden away.

Review β„–26

Called ahead and had excellent service on the phone. They did not disappoint when we got there. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Found the door I was looking for plus all the hardware. They made sure everything was working properly and that I had everything I needed. Not sure where some of these reviewers are shopping but I can tell you prices here are better than that unlimited place and the service is better. Going home to find another project and an excuse to shop here again. Thank you!

When trying to enjoy a day shopping I prefer not to have to see your political views. Its a free country, so you can display your beliefs, just as I can choose not to purchase from your company. I prefer to shop without having to have politics shoved down my throat as it is every time I log in online. I tried to reply to your message but it wouldnt allow me to so I edited my review. But me and my family will now just do our shopping elsewhere.

Some really nice pieces in the Heritage today. A 24 by 32 pulpit with adjustable height that would make for a great standing desk. Amen!

Review β„–29

This place has so much potential, but is a cluster at best. Beautiful things, WWAAAYYY overpriced. It’s SO cluttered in there that you couldn’t possibly find what you were looking for if you tried. I’m giving it a 2 simply because it has a ton of great items. Unfortunately, they’ll stay there for generations. He needs to cut prices to 1/2 OR MORE, move stuff out, restore beautiful pieces, and make shopping optimal. It’s ridiculous. Complete waste of space and pieces. Sad, sad, sad.

Recently completed a long-time project that included finding the perfect frame for a family photo from the 1920s and found that frame at a very fair price at Heritage antiques. Everyone was helpful and understanding of the challenge, offered suggestions. The final product is amazing!

If youre restoring a house (or just like amazing architectural details) and you think, I wonder if they might have the one or two of [insert obscure object of historical desire here]? the answer is likely YES. So much variety, and lots of things youd never know to try to find. The place is dense with things to discover, and the guys really love the stuff and want to help. There are many antique stores around, but not many architectural salvage places like this. Youll know right away if its the place for you, and if it is, be prepared to spend some time here. Youre not likely to leave empty-handed...

Ever changing inventory prevents the website to be specific about what is available. List of the basic items stocked. Coming to check this place out.

Review β„–36

One of my favorite haunts. Rodger has created order out of chaos. Houses scheduled for the wrecking ball are dismantled and the classic fittings, trim, and hardware are restored for sale or can be purchased as is.A huge selection of doors and windows fill the catacombs.In downtown Kalamazoo, just a short walk from restaraunts, and shopping. There is free parking on the street in front of the store.

Review β„–41

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

Review β„–48

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.

Great place, saved us many times on things needed for our older home.Also, 5 stars to help offset Chad below as I generally agree with owner’s political views.

It was a nice place to visit once They definitely have a variety of stuff if you are seeking something particular. However, we were very disappointed in the fact that they are way over priced on most things for a salvage yard supplier. :(
