That was going to be just destroyed along with the rest of the house?

I'm glad you took that.

Do they allow people in before it's demolished?

Not sure if you’re interested in learning more, but it would be cool to get in touch with some people from the

ANTIQUE DOORKNOB COLLECTORS OF AMERICA

I’ve been antiquing for decades and haven’t come across this specific item that I can recall...

Too bad you weren't able to get more knobs (insert jokes here), full sets of that Post-Victorian Era stuff can pull in some decent cash. Wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't worth about a bill if it's the original knob.
