There are no words to describe what this place is to the soul of someone who loves old/interesting things. No other place comes close. Its a true treasure!

This antique store is quite deceiving from the street. It opens into a yard full of old yard items, reclaimed lumber and oddities, adjoining several buildings full of stuff. They have a large collection of old doors in one back room. There are a lot of old Grateful Dead things, although the poster behind the desk is not for sale. The large dog will come and lean on your leg until you pet it. The guys here are very friendly and laid back. They will give you a discount on just about everything, even before you ask. Fun to browse, and we brought home two bird baths for our yard, plus an old mantel which I have finally installed around our fireplace. My favorite antique store in East TN.

I actually love this place, however, there have been many times we have gone to this place when their sign says they should be open and they are closed!! It’s become very frustrating! However, when I have been able to shop there, I have never walked out empty handed!! Lots of interesting and great stuff!!I received a quick response after posting this complaint! It was an honest error on their part! I do love this store and will definitely continue to shop there!

This place is a treasure trove! The people are wicked friendly too! I enjoyed meeting the two store mascots in the form of two, very large, very friendly dogs. I recommend this place for anyone that likes including architectural pieces in their decor. Plus, I scored a side table for $70 and its beautiful! The guys helped load it into my car and everything. Cant wait to go back!

This is one of the coolest stores in Knoxville (for those of you that like odd things, old things, big architectural features). Id say that this is my favorite place in Knoxville to go for buying unique, original, and unusual things. The man who helped me was very helpful and professional.

These guys have some of the coolest architectural salvage around. We have bought three vintage interior doors from them for a home renovation were doing. We needed 6-panel ladder doors to match the existing doors in the house. These guys dug and dug through their huge door collection to find just what we needed.They also have a huge array of every imaginable architectural detail, fixture and decor. Just go look; you wont be sorry.

If youre looking for pretty tea sets displayed on doilies, then this is not your spot. But if youre a picker like me who loves to dig into junk, then check this place out. There is just so much to see and enjoy here from architectural salvage, to tools, to antiques. I am always looking for old clocks for my mantle and I found a great one here at a very reasonable price. Everyone there was extremely friendly. Im so glad I stopped in.
