Change and progress are inevitabilities of life. So it is with architecture – the old buildings and mansions are demolished to make way for the new ones. And sometimes the contents – the architectural antiques - along with the craftsmanship and artistry that were put into them are lost forever in the rubble of landfill. However, there are those who make it their business to rescue these gems and make them available to those who will continue to appreciate them. Whether you are a collector, an interior designer, or someone looking to enhance the look of your home with a one-of-a-kind piece, you’ll find a veritable treasure trove of architectural antiques at Olde Good Things. Their expert “architecturologists” make it an ongoing process to rescue and reclaim thousands of unique items and make them available to the public.

Their vast collections of gems have been rescued from nineteenth century and pre-depression era buildings and stately mansions that fell victim to the wrecking ball of progress. To get an idea of the kind of inventory Olde Good Things has, imagine the most beautiful exterior and/or interior building elements you’ve ever seen; the most awe-inspiring decorative items you’ve ever had the pleasure of admiring. Now imagine being able to see, touch, and acquire some of those architectural antiques for your own home. The folks at Olde Good Things have scouted near and far, to reclaim as many of these gems as can fit on their premises, and more.

SIZE MATTERS

With a massive warehouse of over 100,000 square feet inside, plus three acres outside, you’ll surely find your heart’s desire in architectural antiques at Olde Good Things. Since 1995 they have continued to grow and expand their scope of acquisitions which now includes the largest inventory of original architectural building elements, antique glass, even industrial and commercial machinery and equipment. And since rescuing and reclaiming architectural antiques is an ongoing process, the company always has a selection of “new arrivals” to add.

LOCATION MATTERS

In addition to the main warehouse in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Olde Good Things has stores from California to New York. However, to begin your architectural antiques shopping adventure, you need go no further than your computer. Olde Good Things is a full-service operation which means you can either visit them in person or visit them on the internet. Either way, you are sure to find exactly what you seek at Olde Good Things, from the small and decorative to large Doric columns and some of everything in between.
