Rescued Relics, Salvage Warehouse

Contact Info

Description

Landmarks Foundation of Montgomery initiated an innovative recycling historic preservation project to compliment their restoration efforts. While restoring and maintaining the 50 historic structures located at Old Alabama Town for the City of Montgomery, Alabama, many interior and exterior later-added components were removed to accomplish an authentic restoration on the house museums. Landmarks established Rescued Relics, a not-for-profit salvage business located in a yet-to-be-restored 1920s warehouse, and offers many historic architectural elements and materials from a variety of building styles and time periods to those who are working on other renovation projects around Montgomery and the central Alabama region. New homebuilders are interested in finding that unique pre-loved architectural element that will be a signature on their new home. This unique recycling effort also frees up much space in our increasingly overcrowded municipal landfill. Rescued Relics’ inventory includes (but is definitely not limited to) assorted sink styles, doors, lighting fixtures, mantels, window sashes, balustrades and many other fun items that will tickle our shoppers’ creativity! Rescued Relics also accepts pre-1960s building materials and elements from other home renovators, contractors and remodelers with tax-donations available to the extent of the law. Rescued Relics is operated by volunteers and all funds raised are used to restore and maintain the historic structures at Old Alabama Town.
