Adirondack Architectural Heritage Launches Architectural Salvage Warehouse
April 15, 2026, Keeseville, New York – Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) announces the upcoming launch of their new architectural salvage warehouse. AARCH's new warehouse, Adirondack Architectural Salvage, will be located in the former Pray's Family Farm market in Keeseville (397 State Hwy 9N). The warehouse will accept donations of quality building materials, from windows and bathtubs to doorknobs and light fixtures. In addition to supporting the appreciation, care, and continued use of historic buildings, the warehouse will provide affordable items for North Country residents and keep building materials out of our region's increasingly crowded landfills. It’s also a great way to bring pieces with character and history into your home! The warehouse will serve not just as a store, but also as a training center for hands-on trades classes and other creative opportunities.
AARCH completed a project feasibility study in 2025 with grant support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Peter H. Brink Leadership Fund and the Cloudsplitter Foundation. With the feasibility study complete, AARCH sought funds to launch this new project and has since received over $160,000 in grant support from a mix of government and private funders, including the NYS Environmental Protection Fund’s Adirondack Park Community Smart Growth Program and the NYS Association for Reduction, Reuse and Recycling (NYSAR3) Community Reuse program. Adirondack Architectural Salvage is also made possible through the generous support of Adirondack Farms LLC.
“Adirondack Architectural Salvage will build on the existing strengths of the Adirondacks by highlighting the unique historic and architectural characteristics of our region through the reuse of architectural materials,” said Erin Tobin, AARCH Executive Director.
“By offering high-quality building materials for reuse at a reasonable cost, the warehouse will play a role in creating a more sustainable future that includes appreciation of craftsmanship along with reduction in landfill waste and need for new materials,” said Christine Bush, AARCH Salvage Warehouse Director.
This project will be managed by Christine Bush, who will transition from her role as Preservation Services Director to Salvage Warehouse Director. She is currently seeking volunteers to help at the warehouse as well as donations of building materials in good, reusable condition.
