I'm making a list of local architectural salvage places to check out. I've got a handle on local antiques places, but stuff like flooring and fixtures are a different beast.
Out in New York:
• I've been to Zaborski's a number of times. I've picked up a few things there. If you're looking for replacement glass light globes, or door hardware (among LOTS of other things) this is a great place. It's just a little far for me to pop around to.
• I'd love to get out to Historic Albany's Warehouse 45. I follow them on Facebook. They look like a good resource, just a bit far for me to get to.
Here in MA:
• There's Castle, out in Northampton. I could hit this on my way out to visit the folks at some point. They are open 10-6 on Saturdays. They look a little more "stuff" than "materials", but I won't know until I go.
• I hadn't heard of Old Wood Workshop until I googled it. Considering my recent discovery with the floor, I think I'm going to have to see what they are all about shortly. (Update - looked through the site. While they probably would have what I need, I don't think I could afford them.)
• Old House and Landscape might be worth a side trip. Limited info on their site. I've seen them solicit for stuff/selling stuff on Craig's List. (Or someone is stealing their pictures.)
• Down near Boston is Restoration Resources.
Working my way up the coast:
• Old House Salvage in New Hampshire looks promising, based on their website.
• Nor'East in South Hampton, NH.
• Old House Parts Co, in Kennebunk, ME. but one of my favorite areas to visit, so that's a win.
• Portland Salvage gives me an excuse to keep going up the coast and eventually visit friends in Bangor! Likely pricey, (their website is a bit... slick...)
I'll post updates as I'm able to nose around these places.
