This is a treasure trove of unique architectural findings. Perfect for those trying to find period-appropriate furnishings and details, including, but not limited to, doors, windows, light fixtures, shutters, knows, sinks, toilets, mirrors, and so much more. Absolutely love the owners; Jane was incredibly kind and helpful in helping us search for items to fulfill our design ideas. We will be visiting this establishment for all of our future antique artifact needs!

So I'll start with the fact that they are an amazing resource for somebody looking for a specific bathroom furnishing late 19th-early 20th centiry. They have wonderful items you can tell come from authentic homes. The staff is extremely friendly/pleasant. The largest downside is they are heavily overpriced (imo). I've seen previous comments and have seen the reply often that they are not a thrift store or habitat store. In the most respectful way possible, that response needs some reflection and grounding in reality. As somebody who has antiqued from west to east coast and the run of the north/south throughout, these are some of the highest prices I've seen. Yes, even compared to New York (and the condition of some of these items are not to the same caliber). I'd not tell anybody to not go here ( the opposite actually for anybody restoring a historic home or furnishing a modern one as such ) but, just keep in mind that if you find the thing you're looking for, you'll likely find the price to fall into the exorbitant category. I'm not one to fault them, as I know they have their reasons to price as they do (and that price will be right for the right person), this is just my honest review. Best of luck to the owners and happy antiquing to all others :)

First the good. This place is absolutely AMAZING? They have so much probably impossible to find antique vintage things for old homes. Most of this stuff come from very old high end mansions. If your restoring a mansion built around the late 1800's early 1900's and are looking for something for it, they probably have it. There's so much stuff it's hard to walk through it without bumping into items. It's massive and has 2 stories full of tubs, sinks, toilets, doors, windows, little bit of lighting, fireplace mantles , and down to even door knobs of all kinds. So many one of a kind unique things. It would be worth driving from long distances to shop here. The people running the shop were super nice. I am heavily tattooed and people automatically assume I'm a criminal so I get followed around any store I go in. They did not treat me that way at all. The bad is they are pricey. I found an item I would probably have splurged on but the price was about 10 times what I would pay for it. Most items there are one of a kind though so I guess you have to expect that. AWESOME store to go to for sure though.
