Is this a business ?

love the fireplace. try contacting architectural salvagers near you. it would be a shame for beautiful pieces like that to be lost to demo...

contact local architectural salvage businesses around your area. they would love things like this.

I'd also list it on estate sale ads, or craigslist. take pics of your doors and other items, and list the sizes. lot's of people on there are looking for original items to redo their homes.

the Victorian tiles on the fireplace are original and cost a lot of money. those would be worth the effort for someone to carefully remove those.

Thank you !!! I have it listed on Craigslist already but no interest has been shown....

you need to post a lot of pictures to interest people. (and you have to renew every few days or it disappears) make sure your prices aren't too high. go to a local salvage place and see their prices and if they might be interested.

My great grandmother's home still has that very fireplace with yellow tiles.

I would like to put the word out! Do you have it under architectural salvage on Craigslist in Pittsburg? I know several people in that area looking for just such items. My daughter is building a tiny house with mostly reclaimed windows, doors, wood. It's lovely to save if possible.

I've gone to a couple of demolition sales in my day. They are typically ran by an estate sale company, so everything goes relatively smooth. They do everything -- pricing, advertising, etc. The buyers bring their own tools for removal. I went to one where they even sold the landscaping -- groundcover, shrubs, etc.

Actually OP, can you provide measurements for that mantelpiece in the photo? Wondering if it would fit on my living room fireplace... (The mantelpiece we have has been painted a bunch and doesn't have the cool mirror piece - we've been waffling on whether to restore it or swap it out for a different one).

Thank you everyone !!! I will look into it all .... i will repost the ad on Craigslist because it looks like it has expired and all more detail of what is there and pictures .... THANKS AGAIN !!!

If this has been said already I'm sorry. Call Habitat for Humanity. I think they took a lot of parts out of a house a family member bought & took down (termite damage & other issues).

A quick search yielded 3 salvage companies in Pittsburg - Construction Junction, Artifacts and Architectural Emporium. Am sure any or all of them would be interested in such beautiful woodwork.

I'm sure with all the old homes in the area, someone will want the stuff. I wouldn't expect a lot of money if they have to come in and remove it. It's always a gamble if it will come out in one usable piece.

We are looking to SELL the items and not donate to be sold .... we aren’t looking to make millions but not looking to be taken advantage of either ....

I would only go to a salvage outfit once you've sold off all the cool parts. I imagine it would be more difficult to try to sell a pile of trim or floorboards in a limited time frame unless you get lucky and a buyer who happens to need that exact style trim at that exact time comes along. That's when the salvage outfit would come in (they can warehouse that stuff until te right buyer comes). So you're not getting money for the construction materials left over after you've sold off the nice, easily detachable parts, but you can rest easy knowing that all those materials will be saved for reuse and not go to a landfill.
