Architectural ResErections is an Ohio USA based firm specializing in disassembling architecturally significant, magnificent old homes and transporting them to sites worldwide.

These 100+ year old homes are located near the inner cities where their value has been depreciated by their surrounding urban environment and can be disassembled and moved to locations where values are consistent with the beauty of the architecture.

They have a beautiful Queen Ann (1900 ’s), three superb pre-1900 Richardson Romanesques by noted architects Samuel Hannaford and James McLaughlin and a rare Cotswold (1870’s) house available now. Prices range from $2.45 to $2.95 million US Dollars, delivered anywhere in the Continental USA.

In all cases, the house exterior will be complete. These houses are constructed of stone. Staircases, mantels, doors, stained and cut glass, cabinetry, paneling, and other interior fixtures are recovered  and reused.

Architectural ResErections has the computer technology available to accomplish this work. They do rigorous laser scanning accurate to ¼ inch, AutoCad record drawings, detailed component identification & documentation and disassembly.
