The Big White House had a good selection of reasonably priced antiques, furniture, new and upscaled items. The house itself is a treasure; walking through the rooms filled with items of yesteryear felt nostalgic.

There is no better setting for an antique store. This place is great. Its set in a historic mansion with a unique story. If you ask a clerk, they may share the tale.

Very nice place! First saw this place on a ghost tour of Anoka! The staircase is cool! A lot of fun and unique antiques and handmade goods.

We went to The Big White House because we were doing whatever I, the mom, wanted to do on Mother’s Day. I decided I wanted to torment my boys and husband by forcing them all to go antique shopping. It backfired. Everyone enjoyed it, which I guess is even better. There was something for everyone, and we made some great finds. Felt like treasure hunting. Can’t wait to go again!

Great neighborhood Hardware Store. The kind you grew up with. Not too often they dont have what I need. More personal than a big box store.

So many things to see! I could easily spend hours here. The offering is moving more toward an eclectic mix of antique and contemporary to maybe appeal to more people. It is nearly impossible for me to visit and not imagine what it might have been like to live there because it is just an amazing building. The people are nice and prices reasonable.

This shop has a good mix of new decor and refinished furniture along with some standard antiques. I would love to see more furniture and the turnover rate with the antiques seems to be a little slow for encouraging repeat visits. Otherwise the staff is very friendly.

Like a museum where everything is for sale. This antique store is in a two story historic mansion beside a huge white mulberry tree. Looking at the architecture of the house is almost as enjoyable as pouring through the carefully curated items for sale. Huge selection and variety of antiques.

Great place to shop, though wheel chair acessable, not good for power chairs no room to get through at all.

Review №63

Always something interesting, beautiful, nastalgic, or just really really cool. Anoka is filled with lovely antique stores, but everyone knows and adores this white house. Even at the local skate shop, Pinewskis, I was asking what would be the thing to do in Anoka for first timers and it was well agreed that taking a stop here is a must! Always finding new awesome things here, Ive seen two rustic tables come and go within in one trip here. Ofcourse that might be easy when there are hours that could be spent here. The neon beer sign room is probably my favorite, just something about that glow, feels like how a man-cave probably should. I even get my soap here! (They have amazing soap!)
