Sarasota Architectural Salvage (SAS)
Jesse White founded Sarasota Architectural Salvage (SAS) in 2003 with a vision of building a business that served an environmental mission to preserve valuable & historical materials from being destroyed, upcycling, and creating great jobs for great people. Jesse helps people to see the value in reusing and recycling. Blending expertise gained as the owner of an independent consulting firm offering recycling solutions to government entities and his penchant for the environment, antiques and architectural elements created the perfect match for a retail salvage store.
Jesse and his team find a steady supply of rotating stock by locating buildings slated for remodeling or demolition, and then removing anything and everything of value. They work cooperatively with historical societies and preservation groups. The result is an eclectic mix of architectural antiques and furniture, décor, garden art and building materials.
Items range from doorknobs to chandeliers and are sourced both domestically and internationally. The company also offers custom wood and iron furniture fabricated from salvaged materials.
Jesse is a noted philanthropist directing thousands of dollars to non-profit organizations, accepting consignments on behalf of local non-profits, and providing numerous in-kind donations.
Sarasota Architectural Salvage (SAS) offers an experience like no other…a place to explore, discover and stimulate your imagination….
Sarasota Architectural Salvage Warehouse and Garden is a 10,000 square foot warehouse filled with architectural salvage. Some of their mishmash items include beautiful old windows, doors and gates, unique salvaged lighting, architectural accents of all kinds, clawfoot tubs and plumbing accessories, crazy and unusual outdoor garden and yard art and much, much more! They also offer items from their “Made from Salvaged” showroom and design center.

Upcycle to keep these magnificent pieces out of our landfills!
As outdoorsman and environmentalist, Jesse wants to save natural habitat, conserve resources, and tread more lightly on the earth. Sarasota Salvage was born out of this passion.

“Architectural Salvage is a hidden paradise of quirk and meaning. This store has been my Disneyland since I was in high school, 20 years ago. If you feel stale, and listless, go! If you feel curious and open, go! The entire grounds are a feast for the eyes. Make a word in the sign letter garden. Touch a door from who knows where. Dig through piles of doorknobs, knick knacks and you name it’s. Whether you go there for inspiration, to heal your eyes and brain from technological injuries we sustain on daily basis or to fulfill a crafting desire you just can’t quite put your finger on, this is the shop of delights for you. Why “meaning?” Well, perhaps you need to go to find out!! 😂💜🙏” – Kate Noel
