The Salvage Store at the Preservation Resource Center warehouse ensures preservation remains a key component to the rebuilding process. Maintained by Rebuilding Together through the deconstruction program and community donations, items are obtained directly from New Orleans homes that would otherwise be discarded in landfills. The architecture of New Orleans is a distinctive part of the fabric of the city – timelessly linking the culture and history of the city to the present. After the 2005 levee breeches, many of the city’s distinctive architectural homes were destroyed. After demolition, many historic building materials were scheduled to be sent to landfills.

Materials available for purchase include: corbels, doors, windows, iron railings, flooring, bricks, and more! Proceeds from the store benefit the rebuilding efforts of Rebuilding Together New Orleans. If you are looking for a particular item come on down to the store and ask one of our helpful staff members, give us a call or contact the store by email here.

Rebuilding Together New Orleans started the Salvage Store in 2007 to address the need to save reusable materials for both functional purposes and architectural preservation. Since the store’s debut, it has sold thousands of items at a fraction of the new retail price to homeowners completing renovation projects in and around Orleans Parish. Buying from the PRC Salvage Store helps residents meet requirements for living in historic districts around the city and allows them to fill in gaps in the structure of their homes rather than building anew.
