We are in the midst of major improvements to our inventory on bignyc.org, and while our inventory appears to be unchanging on our website, both stores are stocked with salvaged building materials and Landmark treasures (read more about the Landmarks auction at dnainfo.com)! We will let you know as soon as our website makeover is complete so that you may continue browsing our inventory online. 
 
In the meantime... Here are some featured items, old school style! No fancy hyperlinks here! Just the photos, price, and item description. 
 
We hope that you stay warm this weekend and swing by one or both of our reuse centers to stock up for your next project! And don't forget our month-long mantel sale, going on at both stores!
 
Fondly,
Build It Green! NYC
