FRANKLIN, Ind. -- A salvage and restoration business in Franklin has a very unique find that may be right up your alley.

Madison Street Salvage showcases historic pieces from restoration projects in downtown Franklin. 

They have anything from old lights, to headboards, to windows and doors - even unique signs and antique furniture pieces.

Now they have 97 theater chairs for sale that originally came out of a fraternal lodge in Indianapolis and have barely been used.

The seats are very similar to the models used in The Historic Artcraft Theatre.

Madison Street Salvage wants to try and sell the seats as a group and they're hoping a local organization like a church or nonprofit could use them.

The price listed is $6,495 plus tax for all 97 seats, but if they can't sell them all together they will divide the seats into smaller groupings.

If you are interested, contact Madison Street Salvage via their Facebook page.

Madison Street Salvage is a project by Franklin Heritage and it is one of the oldest non-profits in the state.

The organization turns one person’s trash into another person’s treasure to help restore Franklin.

Franklin Heritage has restored more than 14 downtown buildings and they’re ready to cut the ribbon on a new project.

The group transformed a 100-year-old building into Madison Street Salvage and now they are just steps away from Franklin College near the railroad tracks in Franklin. 

Madison Street Salvage is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 350 E. Madison Street in downtown Franklin. 

The money raised from the sale of the theatre seats will go to the Historic Artcraft Theatre.
