Old House Society

Old House Society Since 1979, we’ve provided education, resources, and advocacy for historic preservation in McLean County.

Our architectural salvage warehouse rescues and rehomes vintage building materials from homes and buildings slated for demolition. Our Mission is to recognize, promote, and provide education and resources for the preservation of old homes, buildings, and neighborhoods in our community for present and future generations.

After careful consideration, we regret to announce that this year’s Old House Society Tour of Homes on June 13 will not take place due to a variety of circumstances.

We remain grateful for the community’s continued enthusiasm and support, and we look forward to welcoming historic home enthusiasts back for a future tour at a date yet to be announced.

In the meantime, follow this page to see details on upcoming workshop events and browse the latest warehouse treasures, or shop in person at 214 Douglas St. in Bloomington.
