A good number of my college girlfriends live in Richmond, VA now, and I have to say they are so unbelievably lucky to live near this great architectural salvage warehouse called Caravati's! I could spend 4 hours wandering around in there, and still not see everything. They have rescued old doors, sinks, tubs, iron work, cobble stone, lighting, mantels, radiators, balusters, banisters, stained glass windows, and hardwood flooring. And all very reasonably priced.
I am excited to announce that this month they launched a Caravati's eBay store as well - hooray! Now I can shop online from DC, and then just hop down 95 if I spot something.
**If you know of any other architectural salvage shops, send me the link. I have a few more from the DC/Baltimore area that I plan to feature later this month...

You need to come up to Baltimore. We've got two good ones. Housewerks is very cool... here's a link http://pigtown-design.blogspot.com/2007/01/housewerks-salvage-baltimore-several.html and there's Second Chance which I helped found, but am no longer a part of. They've gotten really expensive and don't know a lot.
How wide is your rowhouse? My current one is 11.5, but my old one was 9.5.
Thanks! I just saw your other comment too. I will check out Second Chance.
Our rowhouse is 12 feet wide. Makes for interesting space saving solutions, that's for sure!
