CityBeat Cincinnati released their annual Best of Cincinnati issue, and Building Value was a Staff Pick, declared “Best Place to Find a Clawfoot Tub.”
“Remodelers donate used or leftover building materials to the nonprofit Building Value, which resells these materials to the public at a deeply discounted rate; prices are often a third the cost of new, and inventory includes a lot of architectural salvage you can’t find anywhere else. The constantly changing merchandise selection includes antique doors and windows, funky Atomic Age-colored sinks and toilets, vintage ranges and even authentic clawfoot tubs — like real period-piece tubs removed from historic homes. And besides doing good by reusing and recycling old materials, Building Value is also a funnel to benefit the Easterseals, which is committed to breaking down barriers to employment for people with disabilities.”
