Construction Junction, Pittsburgh

 I'd always heard how cool Construction Junction is.  It's an architectural resale shop in the city's east end, the only place I know where you can find two large bins of newell posts just waiting to be purchased.

 Old office furniture?  Check!  Ergonomically incorrect swivel chairs?  Check!  Formica-topped booths with vinyl benches from old diners?  Check!

 You need rosettes for the doorways of your 18th century house?  Oh, they've got rosettes--or whatever they're called.

 There's wood paneling to go beneath a staircase.  And a mangle?  

My favorite object was the twenty-foot high iron monkey.  Very moving.
