The phrase
"architectural salvage" refers to the practice of reusing materials from old buildings that are being demolished or renovated. These salvaged materials, such as doors, windows, fixtures, and even whole sections of buildings, are often restored and repurposed in new construction projects. It is a way to give old materials a second life and preserve the history and character of older buildings.
