BUiLDiNG CHARACTER is Downtown Lancaster's largest retail destination, featuring 60+ independent shops. It offers vintage, recycled, and handmade goods, with inventory that changes quickly. Shoppers can find architectural salvage, recycled clothing, furniture, locally made jewelry, antiques, original works, unique sodas, scented candles, and old records. It is described as huge, with so many versatile products and creative artworks, like Etsy in one building. The atmosphere is loved for its sense of adventure around every corner. It is an absolute must for browsing, where visitors always find a few treasures. The Heritage Press Museum inside offers letterpress printing demonstrations Thursday through Sunday.
So many cute shops and vendors! The vintage clothing upstairs is selected with a careful eye. :)

Awesome place, there's such a wide selection and you can truly get lost in this place. The employees are always nice and willing to help out, and you can always find what you're looking for. It's a little expensive, but I'm also 16 years old so I think everything is expensive.
