A unique selection of historic architectural salvage, antiques, and art from their in-house artists at The Salvage Shop Revival can be found at this cozy spot in North Knoxville on Broadway (closer to downtown from Architectural Antics).  If salvage is really your cup of tea, you’ll want to head over to Knox Rail Salvage.
