New York Old Iron

This is a nice salvage yard where you can poke about and look at things. It’s exposed to the elements so some wooden items get very damaged.
My one issue with this place is it is never open. Weekdays it shuts at 3pm, Saturdays it closes at noon, and Sundays it is not open at all. I guess their target market must be very early risers or people without jobs or maybe they just don’t like money. Whatever the reasoning is, it’s super annoying.

Hesitant to write a good review, since I don’t want this place getting too much attention… but it is a crafty person’s paradise. Pretty much any piece of antique/​up-​cycle/​vintage artifacts you are looking for can be found in this place. If you head in with some idea of what you’re looking for you should be able to find at least something close. Once you’re done you can head over to Lowes next door to get everything else you need to finish your project.
Happy Hunting!

The most amazing place for stuff when you’re renovating a house! I love salvaging old things to upcycle. I wanted a couple of window panes for my wedding pinterest craft. I gave some vague description of what I was looking for and in a couple minutes one of guys turned up a couple of perfect window panes for me.
I’m really looking forward to going back and seeing what other wonderful gems I can find.

I love junks. They inspire, entertain and take me back to where they were and imagine what they might become with some love, endless possibilities. Junks stretch my imagination.
I was heading to Lowe’s from Smith & 9^th St station. When I turned the Lowe’s sign, I found junk after junk overflowing to the street. I was pressed with time so I snatched some photos but that’s all I could do today but I will write more soon. I need to go back to Lowe’s for flooring for my kitchen renovation so i will go around inside of this huge site of junks and ask some questions, especially price. I am very curious.

New York Old Iron is a large salvage yard situated under the Smith/​9^th St subway bridge beside the Lowes parking lot. They salvage all sorts of architectural and home items including but not limited to iron fences/​gates, doors, chandeliers, sinks, tubs, wooden posts, and so on. As a non property owner I was more interested in browsing through the aisles of stuff to check out the miscellaneous items scattered around like a slot machine, welding mask, mannequins, chairs, and all sorts of random randomness. Nothing has a price tag and from I hear everything is negotiable. I heard a couple prices being told to other customers that seemed high but without proper knowledge of the item or the end price, I can’t say for sure how reasonable this place is. If you’re in the area it’s definitely a business worth checking out along with the similar architectural/​décor businesses across the street.
