I wish I could rate this higher because the old woman who runs the shop is a fantastic storyteller. However, the shop is cluttered so the quality stuff is literally buried in dross. Also on the expensive side. Worth a stop to support a local small business but don’t believe the Atlas Obscura hype.

We went at 1245p on a Sunday, times are door said open but you had to knock to be let in but no one answered. We would have loved to look around but could not. Porch was a giant mess as well, not too inviting.

They have a lot of stuff but its hard to get from room to room and I would have liked more space when shopping.

Very interesting things. Very beautiful old home. Amazing antiques that would look good in a home. Especially old wood furniture like vanities. As well as cool chandeliers.

Great looking house, fantastic. Not as much antiques as I thought it would have. Really, really crowded with a lot of stuff, barely any room to walk around.

This is the most interesting place ever, you really have to go, rooms after rooms of interesting items.Although I did get in a little trouble for the cute young girl that works there hitting on me, she really should wear more clothes.

This was one of the most unique and interesting antique stores Ive been in. Its in a very old house and the antiques are just piled from floor to ceiling. Not to mention the lady who runs the place is an absolute sweetheart and was kind enough to teach us about a lot of the odds and ends we had never seen before. They also specialize in crystals and rocks and have some beautiful specimens. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some unique gifts or just for a fun afternoon.

A wonderful place to spend some time! The owner is very nice and knowledgeable. It was impressive how she knew where everything was even though she has thousands of items for sale. This is a great place to go for a gift, or if you are looking for something unique.

Lots of antiques piled floor to ceiling with narrow walkways between.. Judging from the age of the price tags theyve been there for decades, priced to high to sell. She was very sweet and lives in a portion of the lovely old house. Not sure how youd even get some of the larger pieces out.

One of the most interesting antique collections in Bloomington, which is saying something. A wide range of curiosities, collectibles, minerals and art pieces. The location is fascinating, and the interiors lend themselves to many gorgeous photo opportunities. The owner is very knowledgeable and gives great tours. I picked up a lovely vase for my mom, at a very fair price. Make sure to bring quarters as there is an old time picture show machine inside. Parking is difficult in the Garret lot, but there are many metered spaces nearby. Bloomington bucket list MUST SEE.

Lots to look through. The building is also a residence, so be mindful of Private signs on doors leading to home. That said, prices seem decent for antiques. Looks like an impressive minerals and stones collection for sale. They have ample parts to repair vintage lamps with. Furniture can be found upstairs. The woman of the house seems knowledgable to her items, so if you dont see it, ask. If nothing else, the building alone is quite the sight for Bloomington.
