SAVED FROM THE WRECKING BALL
 In
the world of antiques, architectural artifacts are the leftovers—the doors,
mantles, windows and hardware. China, silver, glassware, furniture and jewelry
may be handed from grandparent to grandchild, but architectural remnants come
only from one painful episode—demolition.
Monasteries, turn-of-the-century homes, grand ballrooms, hotels, civic
gardens—urban renewal is world wide and the trash it creates becomes treasure
somewhere else.
