Chisholm School Auction - Built in 1918 - Presented by Lefty's
This auction features items from the historic Chisholm School, originally built in 1918. Many of the items being sold have been part of this building for over a century, creating a rare opportunity to purchase antique and architectural pieces with real history behind them.
Look for the antiques. Some items in this auction are built into the structure or are too large to fit through doorways without disassembly. These items are being sold for the value of the materials, including beautiful wood that is over 100 years old. Buyers may take as much of these pieces as they are able to safely disassemble and remove.
Because the school has remained in use until recently, the catalog will also include many of the everyday items typically found in a school. You may see the auction jump from antique fixtures to maintenance items like brooms and equipment.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
THERE WILL BE NO PREVIEWING THIS AUCTION, DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS.
