I love every Antique shop, but this one is an EXPERIENCE! From the moment you walk in it's almost overwhelming. Things are certainly "where they lay" kind of set up. But it's honestly kind of exciting.
Because as you make your way through the old, repurposed, 3 floor house - you kind of feel like you're walking through the past of a home/families.
Many rooms are themed and kind of feel like you're touring moments in the past. Gone, but not forgotten. The prices are average to high- but I would venture to say that you'll probably find something you just can't leave behind. No matter the price. These things were once loved and looking to find a new home.
Lastly, for my sensitive people- there is a buzz about the house. Not loud, but present. You can feel the energy of people long gone but know they once experienced something there. It was very interesting.
Especially in the attic window room - there was a presence in there that made it hard not to think of the stolen moments in time, where someone painted in that room. Or sat looking out the window at the beautiful view of the river.
Just go visit... You...
Read moreJust one of many great antique venues in the Pittsburgh area. Some things were overpriced, in my opinion, just like most places. Things are definitely cheaper than Ebay.

I bought a cool chipped vintage tail light. Gonna make it a table top nightlight. They have some nice vintage clothing and accessories. Pity I don't have a typical male body or a smokin' girlfriend. Even though I don't need another AD lamp, I was in need of more ornate posts and bases. There were 2 outside in back. They were weather damaged, so I got them REAL cheap. Biggest negative about the place is parking and how you can easily...
Read moreThis place is pretty neat. Give yourself plenty of time because there are multiple floors to explore and stuff changing regularily. The guy at the desk seems friendly and helpful if needed, but doesn't hassle you or follow you around, which isnt often the case in a place like this. Some of the rooms are put together very well, almost like a museum and are easy to look through and walk in. Other ones are kind of a mess and you will need to step over things and navigate carefully. It does almost have the feel of exploring your grandparents attic, though. Oh, and when I say attic...its pretty hot on the floors besides the ground level. I suggest dressing...
