Salvage Center

Why It's Good:

With unique, rare and timeless pieces, this place is a decorator’s dream come true. Choose from cast-iron columns rescued from the 1904 Baltimore Fire, terra cotta tile salvaged from the Philadelphia Civic Center, marble claw-foot tubs, vintage kitchen appliances, stained glass windows from churches, and Gothic sconces. Take your home-reno job a step further with substantial building pieces like chimneys and marble steps. With these prices, you just might get ambitious and redo your whole house!

Why It's Green:

Not only does Second Chance, Inc. sell salvaged items, which reduces wastefulness and encourages resourcefulness, but it also offers deconstruction and architectural salvage services, to minimize onsite waste. It also offers job training for low-income residents of Baltimore and Philadelphia.
