Donations
Donations can include old building parts,
buildings to be salvaged before demolition or renovation,
financial contributions, buildings
and land, and old furniture.
Thank you in advance for your donations!
Old Building Parts |
- Miscellaneous items such as hardware, light fixtures, doors,
and so forth can be dropped off at the Warehouse (please, call first).
- For larger items, call us at (309) 820-0548. Depending on the
item and your location, we may be able to pick it up for you.
- Our focus is on pre-1940 building parts, but interesting newer
items are appreciated, too.
- We’ll provide you with a list of items you donated for
your tax records.

Buildings to be Salvaged |
- We salvage and recycle thousands of items from old buildings
just prior to demolition or renovation.
- Our crews are experienced, and fully insured.
- We’ve even moved entire buildings.
- Please give us as much advance notice as possible to get the
project done. We may not be able to help if we are first notified
the day before a building will be torn down.
- Call us at (309) 820-0548 to arrange a salvage project, or if
you just have questions.

Financial Contributions |
- Your business or organization can become a Sponsor.
- Members can make additional contributions at renewal time, or any time!
- Leaving a legacy for the benefit of future generations is an
important life decision. We hope that if you value our mission you will
include Old House Society in your will and estate planning.
- We can work with your attorney, accountant, community foundation,
and investment advisor on Wills, Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable
Lead Trusts, and Charitable Remainder Trusts.
- For more information, please contact us at (309) 821-9787 or info@oldhousesociety.org.
|
Buildings and Land |
- We accept all types of old or new buildings, and land.
- Properties that fit within our scope of activities can be especially
useful for our Education Center program. Others can be sold to
raise capital for acquiring more suitable properties, or for funding
Old House Society programs and activities.
- We are currently seeking representative period homes that could
be used as a combination of local house museums and Education Centers.
- For more information, please contact us at (309) 821-9787 or
info@oldhousesociety.org.

Old Furniture |
- We mostly accept pre-1940 furniture, or interesting
newer items. Some pieces we keep for our permanent collection,
but most are resold at our Warehouse.
- Old furniture can be dropped off at our Warehouse.
- Please, call us in advance at (309) 820-0548.
