This is my "go-to" place for architectural salvage, but they also have a fair amount of furniture, too. There are some original props from the show "The Wire." Large collection of stained glass, fixtures, cabinets, knobs, flooring...just about anything. I could spend the whole day here looking.

Sightseeing
This is really a must-see if you have never been. Buy tickets in advance online. I have just recently been, and there are more exhibits than ever. Try to go early morning or late afternoon during the summer season.
