Just wow. Went into this place looking for a door and the old guy sitting at the desk kept telling me and my wife “I don’t sell plain doors, most of what I have is in the $6000” range.For one, I never said I was looking for a plain door. And secondly I can read the prices so I know that your stuff is expensive. I’m sorry was I not dressed “wealthy enough” to be in your store? Watch walking out in the rain, your nose is so stuck up you might drown.

NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. Couldn't even get through the door with a wheelchair. I guess they don't think the handicapped shop. If you're plus sized, you won't be able to get through the aisles. Biggest disappointment on our trip.

This is a "know before you go" kind of place. Either that or use the word Architectural as a clue before you go in.Thankfully I knew what I was getting myself into when I almost drove by and quick swung into the parking lot.I was just scrolling through the reviews and many of them made me laugh...some older ones that had responses definitely would have turned me off from going in...thankfully it seems the responder to those posts has stopped replying or has just learned it bite his tongue...which is never fun, I get it.That being said, this place is phenomenal. Think Windy City Rehab and the doors and mantels they get from stores like this out in Chicago.Massive pieces that belong in homes 20 times the size of my small 1200 square foot home, lol.It's a tight squeeze in there, it is dimly lit in some spot, but for me that only added to the experience. You can smell the history crammed into that main building and even if you aren't purchasing an $8,500 door or $24,000 mantel it's still fun to look around and take a break from looking for antiques that the rest of us normal folk can afford.

I'm at a loss for words about this place (doesn't happen much)!!This is the largest collection of genuine antique victorian, gothic, masonic, and other furniture influences of the late 1900s (1870-1890) that I've ever seen in one location. And there are 2 more warehouses full of even larger pieces. It's truly breathtaking.Purchased 2 modest pieces and coming back again when I can spend more time. Ask for Joel, the owner, as he has the historic background on every item.

If you plan on looking for something big and unusual, this is the place to find it. From huge bars to monumental iron work and stained glass.

Wow. This place was simply stunning. You won’t be able to take your eyes off of each and every item in the store. I was only able to do 1/2 of the shop on my last visit. I plan to go back. You will find things that you cannot find anywhere else doors, bars, Stainglass, fixtures, carvings. You name it, it’s there. The prices are in range with what you would expect for such height and architectural pieces. This is not a shop with a tchotchke and pieces of decor. This is a shop that houses art and architectural pieces that fall under that category. You have got to see this place to believe it. Check out my photos on Google Maps.

I was interested in fireplace mantels and was amazed! I have never seen so many in one place, most from the 19th-early 20th centuries. Really beautiful. Before you go, look through the website's photos, note the numbers of the mantels you want to see, and then call ahead with this info to let the store know you are coming. When you get there, the owner will show you where everything is located. The inventory is so large it would be impossible to display every item, so you will not be able to find everything on your own if you just show up to browse. Definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend!

I have read some of the reviews on here and yes it is overcrowded but........ The owner was very pleasant to us and very helpful. we purchased a antique mantel and had it shipped to Az. the owner helped us every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable on every piece in his giant warehouse. We found it to be a great experience.

I could never afford any of these pieces as much as I wish I could buy an exceptionally beautiful Italian piece I saw. We very much enjoyed walking through and reading about the different pieces and seeing their history. The staff was pleasant. We met the man who repairs stained glass and he took the time to tell me how it is made. It can be hard to move around and I don't say this to be rude, if you are larger be careful to not knock pieces around and is it quite crowded with the antiques. Some areas lead to dead ends and can be difficult to navigate. I personally enjoyed that bit wanted to mention it to anyone considering visiting so you know to be careful as you move around.

I love antiquing and checking out the antique stores in the Ephrata/Adamstown area. I was visiting the area with my mom and decided to stop in to check out what they have.The elderly man at the counter was not very personable when we walked in, which is fine. Walking around the place was impressive. It's packed full with antique stained glass windows and antique furniture that is to die for. When we were walking out, I said "thank you, and have a happy new year" and it the elderly man looked at me and just said "bye"I'm sure they deal with people coming in and walking around not knowing what they are looking for all the time, but you don't have to be rude. I'm guessing he may have been the owner because I saw him in a few of the pictures they have around. I'm sure after reading some of the other reviews he will have something to say, in which I don't really care.I just know after my experience I will never go back in there. I would rather spend my money and time at the TONS of other antique stores in the area.??
