Amazing . Such a cool place to find architectural pieces for projects and be able to actually afford it. Wonderful owner, very helpful. Overall, a great place to find hidden treasures .
I love finding the most random treasures and the little spot in the back that talks about historical stuff in the area. I love learning the history of Champaign and it's former residents.
What a cool spot located in Champaign, IL. I spent some time speaking to the director during my visit, and it was very cool to learn about this salvage store and their mission. They even have an informational library toward the back of the shop. Excellent spot to find materials to upcycle!! Prices are reasonable, and the materials are well organized. I regret not having stopped in sooner.
Stopped by while we were seeing family in the area during Christmas. My husband and his family were very intrigued by everything inside. It wasn't really my kind of store.
Love this place! Each time I visit Baltimore, I stop here. Such a great place with so much to look through. Unfortunately, I can only fly with something small. I may have to drive next time!
Amazing spot, holy cow. Skeleton keys, barn wood, clawfoot bath tubs, door frames, knobs, pictures, tools.. every antique you could be looking for, it's here. The prices are very affordable, and there's so much stuff you could get lost for hours.
If you're in the area you'd be doing yourself a disservice not coming here.
Do you own an old house? PACA is an amazing place to get great architectural salvage items at reasonable prices. I highly recommend becoming a member for a 10% discount!
I love the variety and the dedication to preserving architecture, but don't expect any customer service here. Man, was the attendant rude. When I told him I brought some items to check out, he told me he was surprised because he thought "I was a deadbeat, just hanging out." I was looking at granite slabs leaned up against the building, trying to figure out how to examine one, he said, "Yeah, they're heavy," and walked away.
Great place to find original pieces to restore your old house, or unique stuff to customize an eclectic home. Very fair prices and they always negotiate (but its rarely needed). And the best thing is, any profit they make, goes to local charities. Highly recommend PACA for your next home renovation difficult-to-find vintage item.
Always my first stop in home repairs. They have everything from locks to switches to toilet seats. Salvaged so you are extending it's life cycle so you are helping the planet and saving money while you are at it. The employees are very kind and helpful and patient.
Friendly guy with a lot of original parts for older houses and Architectural Salvage. Worth a visit if you're interested in that sort of thing. They also have some granite and marble
Great salvage store. Good variety. Some prices a bit to high. Somethings are priced some are not. Didn't see any barn wood, barn doors or corrugated metal. These things are really in and are great salvage.
Only place in the area that will take old windows, woodwork, plumbing, electrical and many other salvageable parts from old homes. Parts from homes 50 yrs and beyond can be found at PACA. Truly a great place to recycle things from your home when you update.
As a non-profit architectural salvage group, PACA is a great place to look for 'old' treasures. They have woodwork and fancy hinges, old glassware and bathroom porcelain. Check it out and get hooked on history.
I like the idea of resale and sustainability, but things aren't always listed with prices and the selection does vary. The owner / main guy is always super friendly though
PACA is a lot of fun to visit and see what they have. They get historical construction materials that can really either add a nice touch to a modern place or fit right in with a historical building. I found some old geological survey maps of places I had lived and really got a kick out of it. So much neat stuff! You really need to go and check it out. Enjoy!
Great place to browse thousands of architectural salvage. Tom and his crew do a great job of sorting and pricing the items. Probsbly the most affordable salvage place I've been to.
PACA is a staple in our community, for not only their resale shop, but also for their efforts to preserve and protect our shared histories. As for the shop, they have expanded their hours and it's always great fun to wander amongst the shelves whether you are looking for something specific or not!
PACA is an amazing resource for owners of older homes, or just anyone looking to find vintage or antique components for their homes or other repurposing. They have everything from doors and windows of all shapes and sizes to antique bathtubs, toilets, and vanities, chandeliers and light fixtures, doorknobs, hinges, locks, stained glass, antique wood trim, and a fair bit of other miscellaneous stuff to look through. The people that work here are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about older homes in the area and will go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for, even if you don't know exactly what you need. Prices are incredibly affordable!
They also take donations of old house components but they are often short on room, so you might call and tell them what you have before you bring it by just to be sure they will accept it.
Plus PACA uses the money for the preservation of local historical architecture, which is a great cause.
Stop by on Saturday mornings for free coffee, learn a bit about local history, and find some cool one of a kind antique thing you didn't know you needed!
