Had broken original shutter hinge for my 1928 Anderson & Veatch home in Lincolnshire. Did not have any but owner said he had a box of them at his house. Brought them in the next day. Sadly they did not match up with what I needed. Such a treasure trove if item. A must visit. Many thanks
One of the best “in the rough” salvage options in the Midwest. I’ve picked Kentucky tobacco sticks for my garden and wood flooring that’s an exact match for my 100-year-old house. I’ve bought, sold and traded here. Unusual resources for indoor/outdoor projects and art pieces. When you think you must have the directions wrong, keep driving toward Kentucky cropland.
Wow... LOVE this place! Got an hour or so to wander around and find unique treasures? When you're in Evansville, this is the spot. They have anything from claw-foot tubs, pedestal sinks, bicycles, architectural pieces, signs, mantles, taxidermy, stained glass, chandeliers, doors and on and on.... they even had an old 60s diner... Owners are very friendly, and since nothing has a price on it, you must interact. THEN you can get the back-story of whatever item catches your fancy. Foxy, their kitty greeter, is a fabulous ambassador, too.
They buy and sell vintage/antiques and always seem to have some of the neatest items. A must visit even if it's just to see what all they have. TJ and his wife are friendly and fair on pricing
Interesting place. The owner was nice. Prices are good. If you are looking for old hardware (hinges, knobs, pulls), a door or wrought iron this is the place. They have an odd assortment of wooden furniture as well. We didn't explore the yard outside, but there is a ton of old metal and iron.
Some of the coolest Architectural Salvage in the Area, found some great deals. They even gave us umbrellas to walk around outside while it was raining. Cool place, cool people, no doubt.
Great treasures just awaiting your discovery! People who operate are very friendly and down to earth. Highly recommend visits often, as their inventory changes almost daily.
You never know what you are going to find here at Salvage Candy. This place never disappoints, with surprisingly cool stuff always coming arriving daily.
Great environment for antique architecture, and many miscellaneous what nots . Tj and his wife are extremely nice and knowledgeable on the items. I hope to be in a good setup like that in the future, but until then you can get the best deal for your vintage restoration needs
This place has some gems, but you have to sort through a lot of junk. Most of the items are laying on the ground outdoors and some are indoors. Since we discovered it, we go back about once a month. Even the junky items are interesting to explore. There is always something that we can't leave without buying. Prices seem a bit high, but are negotiable.
My sister and I visited today...... Holy Moley! This place is awesome, the people were super friendly and helpful but weren't breathing down your neck like some places do! They let us browse, and believe me there is a LOT of stuff to look at, and answered questions when we asked! We will definitely be going back!
The owners are very friendly and excited to show off their treasures. It's a great atmosphere and a walk down Memory (or even Pre-memory ) Lane. And I didn't see anything I thought was overpriced. But I would have been more likely to buy something if the stuff had been cleaned up and even partially restored. I do know that what I am referring to may not fall in the realm of a salvage yard, but some items were in such bad shape they really were no more than junk that could never be restored.
This is a great place to go find something wonderful and make it your own. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The inventory is always changing. They have big furniture items, mantles, lamps, small hard to find antique hardware and much, much more. The store is organized very nicely. If you have questions about items or need help finding something they are always very helpful. I have visited on several occasions and they never seem too busy to help. It was nice to hear a bit of history about one of the items we purchased as they helped us load it up after purchasing. All this and they have fair pricing! I love this place!
