Fans & Stoves Antique Mall — Local services in Jacksonville

My family and I checked out this lovely antique store which is located in Historic Five Points District in the Riverside Neighborhood of Jacksonville FL and I have to say that it was a very lovely place with lots of different kinds of items such as vintage toys, cloths, nick nacks, books, and everything else under the rainbow 🌈. I also love the story on how the store got it's name, when it originally opened it was a store that sold only fans and stoves like a Home Depot type store but when the big time stores started poping up they couldn't compete so when it finally became an antique store the new owners just kept the original name which was Fans and Stoves. I learned that story from one of the owners. So if you are ever in Riverside Jacksonville FL check out Fans and Stoves...
