What clients say about Architectural Salvage Bank in Tarpon Springs (FL)
We come here every time we are in town and it is 10000% worth it- even if it is out of the way! There are so many unique finds- large and small. The owner is so sweet and friendly and we love seeing her every time we visit. We always find something to take back home!
Had the best experience in this gorgeous building. The owner was absolutely kind. She was so welcoming. She has a phenomenal collection of old pieces and beautiful wood pieces as well. Great place to visit and shop
What a special store with the most amazing treasures. The owner, Robin, knows what she is doing. Besides being kind, knowledgeable, patient, and so talented, she will work with you to make exactly what you have dreamed of to perfection. I would say over the past 10 years she has helped us decorate half of our house. The barn doors were our first time working with Robin and we have been become regulars at her store. If you are looking for custom make wood pieces at very fair prices and are top quality, I highly suggest visiting this unique store. In addition, she is always re-filling the store with treasures you just don't find anywhere else.
Robin is absolutely incredible at her craft. Prices are very reasonable and workmanship is top notch. Not to mention customer service. 10/10 can’t recommend enough. We are beyond happy with our purchase.
Architectural Salvage Bank is worth the trip. The inventory is fun and varied, including wood flooring, antique doors, windows, trim, hardware, lamps, household items, and even taxidermied fish. Robin is creative and will make you something out of anything in the shop if you'd like. There's something for everyone, including little ones who are welcome to pick a toy from her treasure chest. Robin herself is a treasure, with a heart of gold. We purchased antique heart pine flooring from her and she was more than accommodating as was her crew (special thanks to Hunter and ???? for cutting boards to fit in our car and helping us load and secure everything for our long trip home). Thanks so much, Robin!
This is the best salvage store in the world! Great assortment of everything one would hope to find, and the prices are extremely fair. It's definitely worth a visit to poke around and find some treasures or items for home restoration (we bought antique heart pine floor boards). Extra bonus is to talk with the store owner--she's got a great personality, is very engaging, and funny. Her assistants are also very helpful and friendly. I'd give this business 6 starts if that was possible.
Fantastic selection of unique items and lots of live edge wood. Some real unique salvaged items that you will want to check out. Plus the owners are super friendly and knowledgeable about their products
While wandering the store the owner approached us and quickly began a self initiated lengthy conversation including bashing the government, criticizing Ron DeSantis, taxes, talking about how woke she was and the mess Florida is in. Non stop derogatory politics. She also mentioned 3 times that she doesn't make money here and 2 CEOs are taking over. Then she grabbed a pack of cigarettes and continued her monologue waving around an unlit cigarette. Mind you, we did not encourage any of this talk. Before we left the wave of cigarette smoke was floating through the store which is filled with wood. A memorable scary experience.
Where ever I go, I always look up architectural salvage places. I really enjoyed this one and come away with some great items. If you like this sort of place definitely check it out
Interesting selection. Unfortunately, contrary to their listing on Facebook, they didn't have any kitchen sink for sale. I drove half an hour to look for inexpensive based on their ad. I tried messaging them ahead a few days to verify if they had any, but they never responded. They also seemed uncaring when ui mentioned to them that their ad said "new kitchen sinks" for sale. The "new" in their ad also seems to be a deception as everything they have for sale is salvage.
This place is such an exciting, surprising find in Pinellas County. I'll be visiting regularly to see what unique, storied treasures I just can't live without!
This place is just awesome! So many beautiful things in this store to choose from. Definitely something for everyone ❤️. Prices here are very reasonable too. Amazing one of a kind hand crafted wood tables, all custom to your budget. People are super helpful and friendly ?. They have alot of stuff on the side outdoors as well. I could have spent alot more time here, definitely will come back. Alot of special, one of a kind items!
This place is AWESOME!! So many beautiful treasures and the family that owns the place is incredible!! Great place to find vintage/antique home decor or the most perfect & meaningful gifts for people you care about! We will DEFINITELY be back!
Fantastic place. One of the friendliest businesses I have ever visited. From the owner to the staff, everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable about wood and projects. Got a piece of art for my dad's birthday, and some live edge pieces to make some floating shelves. Locally owned tarpon business, will be back frequently!!
What a surprise right off the Pinellas Trail. So many cool items in this store (custom tables, raw wood, antiques, instruments and nautical items). The owner is super kind and welcoming.

Architectural Salvage Bank is full of rare finds. The most rare find of all is the owner, Robin Karr! We stumbled across this unique store as we were beginning renovation of a home built in 1925. Robin has worked with us throughout the remodel to create many unique pieces and to restore much of the home's original wood. She works hard to make sure you are happy! Her prices are extremely fair! Her work is beautiful and unique. Stop by and check out the Bank. You'll be glad you did!
Absolutely love this place. We had a custom live edge table made from slab of lemon eucalyptus and we LOVE it. If you are looking for an excellent custom piece, this is the place to have it made!
I didn’t purchase anything {yet} but I just had to post this review to say Robin is a sweet soul! I spent at least 30 mins just talking with her & it made my day discovering that there really are still good hearted, genuinely good people in this world. Thank you Robin! We will definitely be back.
Stopped in today and were amazed at the variety and vibe of the shop. The owner is very enthusiastic and informative. Bought several wonderful treasures! Plan on being a regular customers!
This gets a solid 4 star rating. At the time of this post, the prices were fair and the selection was pretty diverse. Smaller and more quaint sized salvage stop but one of my "go-tos" when I'm in the area.
My wife and her mother stumbled upon Robin's retail shop in 2015 while antiquing. I was instantly drawn to the works of art that lay within. After talking with Robin about my vision of a large family dining room table, I knew I was in the right place. She and the team worked quickly to deliver before the holidays as I was hosting my very first Thanksgiving Dinner. At delivery, I cried in joy and even laid on top of 'MY TABLE' for a picture. My family is so bless to have Robin in our lives! She even helped us with materials to protect our homes during Hurricane Irma. I will always go to her first for my wood working furniture visions, and you should too!
Very cool place and the owner is AWESOME! I have 2 young kids and she immediately welcomed them and offered them toys from a chest. Most antique/salvage shops cringe at the site of children. She has a great selection if true historic pieces. Wish I could of bought more, but we'll definitely be back.
