“This antique shop has a lot of charm and definitely reminds me of some of the other spots we love visiting in different cities. There’s a great variety of knickknacks, vintage toys, and fun finds throughout the store, and it’s clear that a lot of care has gone into curating the space.
That said, we didn’t come across anything that matched what we were specifically looking for—extremely old, rarer items. We've stopped by a few times now, and while it’s always a nice visit, the selection just hasn’t quite aligned with our particular collecting interests.
To be clear, this isn’t a knock against the store itself. Every antique shop has its own personality and mix of vendors, and what doesn’t suit one collector might be exactly what another is searching for. Next time, I may just call ahead to see if they have the kind of pieces we’re hunting for, rather than dropping in and leaving empty-handed.
Still a worthwhile stop for any antique lover—especially if you enjoy exploring and discovering hidden gems.”

“I consulted Cameron Treleaven concerning the potential insurance value of my personal collection of The Book of Mormon.
He was very generous with his time, and shared insights regarding rare book collections and best practices for collectors.
At the end if our meeting Cameron shared additional references and invited me to contact him in the future with respect to matters concerning my collection.
I would highly recommend a visit to Aquila Books to view the store's extensive and fascinating collection of rare books.
Parking is conveniently located behind the store.”

“Iron Crow is expensive, but they have by far the best selection of antique furniture in the city. It's a fun store to poke around in, staff are friendly and helpful, and I've found a few great pieces over the years.”
“Spoke at length to the owner, super nice guy. Helped me out with a refinishing issue I had with a piece I own. He suggested a product that worked perfectly. Will be going there for future furniture purchase.”
