There are just so many fascinating pieces of architectural antiques and architectural salvage, that I had to do two posts just to scratch the surface of the images I shot at Housewerks over the weekend. To me, there’s nothing more entertaining than poking through old things, looking for that certain treasure.
Seriously, I am just mad about Housewerks!
Perhaps not every single thing they have. For instance, I can’t really see anyplace in my house that I’d want an embalming table!
We had a great time speculating about whether this elevator car would be big enough to use for a powder room. And then we decided it would.

I took loads of pictures of patterns, like these pieces of industrial marking chalk

I loved this old red-painted table, 
and its incredible patina, which came about after years of hard use.
I thought this would look great over a bed, but it’s cast iron and weighs a TON!
These are the backplates for a fireplace, and they help reflect the heat into the room.
Their detail is just beautiful and so intricate.
This is a huge piece of copper fireplace surround and it is just perfection!
I love the old-fashioned dolphins, They have the funniest faces and the most fanciful tails.
If you’re ever in Baltimore, I heartily recommend spending a few hours at Housewerks. It’s such a unique place.
