21ST CENTURY TREASURE HUNT

Tony's Architectural Salvage in Old Towne Orange claims to be Southern California's largest warehouse of architectural salvage. And who are we to argue?

Winding through room upon room, you'll find an impressive array of antique plumbing fixtures, pedestal sinks, clawfoot tubs, doorknobs, wrought-iron fences, gates and grillwork. Many nostalgic fixtures once adorned estates back east at the turn of the 19th century. It's like a step back in time.

Owner Tony Deleo's renowned treasure trove also specializes in fireplace mantles crafted out of iron, marble, stone and wood, as well as Gothic, French and American doors.

It's also an excellent resource for lighting fixtures that once illuminated banks, churches, restaurants and theaters. Garden statuary includes fountains, gargoyles and vintage urns.

Open Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 119 N. Olive in Orange. 714-538-1900.
