Black Dog Salvage is a massive 40,000+ square foot salvage and reclaimed goods destination in Roanoke, Virginia, celebrating 25 years of creativity and sustainability. The sprawling warehouse features architectural salvage, reclaimed wood furniture, vintage collectibles, and original art across multiple distinct areas including the Design Center, Marketplace, Loft Gallery with regional artists, and the outdoor Dog Bowl venue. Beyond owner-curated salvage inventory, the store operates as a mixed-format space with consignment vendor booths offering diverse goods. Customers praise the ever-changing inventory, unique finds, and knowledgeable staff, though note premium pricing reflects the curated nature and TV show popularity. Perfect for half-day exploration.
