“Daytrip—One winter weekend, explore Escondido’s Grand Avenue, a hot spot for art, design and home décor. Known for vintage and antique architectural elements-doors, windows, corbels-and its lovely interior, Architectural Relics also offers statuary, fountains, iron wall décor and seasonal gifts.”

“Chris and Lisa Gulliver pay tribute to the past with their shop Architectural Relics, located in the historic downtown district of Escondido, Calif. The showroom features both antiques and antique reproductions in the form of Old World European doors, rustic garden statuary and fountains, iron gates, decorative ceiling tins, gothic gargoyles and more. A few signature items, such as a hand-carved, wood framed mirror, illustrate the type of architectural elements available.”
