Discovery Architectural Antiques     

Welcome to Discovery Please page down

Discovery Architectural Antiques is the largest operation of its kind in the Southern USA. We stock nearly everything imaginable that can be salvaged from old homes and buildings including antique stained glass, doors, windows, flooring, siding, beams, shiplap, posts, lighting, tin ceiling, tubs, sinks, and one of the best collections of Antique door hardware to be found anywhere. We have over 130,000 square feet of inventory under roof, the main showrooms alone take up five buildings in downtown Gonzales, Texas. We hope this web page will help give you some idea of what we have but please realize, since we have well over a million items in stock, it only shows a tiny sample of what we offer at any moment in time.

We accept checks, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and Paypal for payments on all purchases over the phone and in the store.

Sorry if it takes to long to download in some places.  Please contact us if you have specific questions.  

Our lighting selection is all antique.  Most of it has been rewired.  We use antique shades and globes.  Stock varies as nearly all are unique fixtures.
