Second Chance Architectural Warehouse


Here's a fun way to spend your Saturday afternoon- Jeff and Gary joined us for a walk through a place called "Second Chance Architectural Warehouse" 1645 Warner st. in Baltimore near Ravens Stadium.
Second Chance gives old buildings new life. They work with local and regional architects, builders and contractors to search out old buildings which are entering the demolition phase. They rescue the wood, metal, marble, plaster, stone and other architectural elements that make the building special. They give these pieces new lives, in new homes, in new ways, with new uses. In fact, there were FOUR Warehouses that we went through! We saw doors, shutters, stained glass, church pews, office furniture, lights, old glass doorknobs, chairs, even an old bathtub made of TIN in a wooden frame! - yup, stuff circa 1900. It's like going through a museum almost, but you can buy stuff (and reasonable).

Here's the list of what they sell: Architectural Elements, Stained Glass, Tin Ceilings, Iron Work, Lighting, Interior Shutters, Exterior Shutters, Garden Architecturals, Fireplace Mantels, Period Hardware, Period Tile & Much More
Windows, Interior & Exterior Period Doors, Modern Doors, Wood Flooring, Lumber, Building Materials, Antiques, Furniture, Home Décor, Architectural Salvage, Lighting, Rugs, Appliances, Cabinets, Sinks, Toilets, Vintage Fixtures, Claw Foot Tubs, Radiators, Radiator Covers
