Pamela the owner is the sweetest! I bought a love seat but couldn’t find someone with a vehicle large enough to bring it home until 3 days later and she held it for me. I went back a little bit after that and found a chair that matched my new couch perfectly, but once again couldn’t figure out how I’d get it home. Pamela went out of her way and found some bungee cords for me to use and I was able to strap it to my trunk. Oh and the prices are ridiculously great too!

This is the place to find that something you did not know you were looking for! This beautiful red victorian is filled with used furniture, kitchenware, carpets, lamps and knickknacks. Inside you will find three rooms of treasures. Out front are boxes of goodies to rummage through. In the yard are sheds and shelves overflowing with more great buys. Come spend a few minutes or a few hours browsing for that something you did not know you were looking for! Happy hunting!

James is the Man! Also, a very beautiful environment to get lost in, like the Tardis, it is bigger on the inside.

I wonder Where all that stuff comes from?

If the backyard is open, it’s worth the extra time you spend back there. They have beautiful cars back there that are museum quality.

You know that old 2-story on Telegraph where there’s always a bunch of stuff piled out front? And there used to be an old white van with toys hanging on it? That’s the place. Ah, the Antique Center. Part antique shop, part rummage sale, and part hauling service, this is a unique establishment. I love this place for the eclectic selection, the good deals, the informal ambiance, and the groovy owner James. He’s a friendly, funny guy who will buy, sell, and trade antiques + other vintage stuff. If you like to dig through random boxes, this place is heaven. Also if you don’t mind making minor repairs, you can find a lot of good, functional furniture for cheap. As the re-use ethic becomes more common, I think places like this will grow in popularity. You can get what you need, without running up your credit cards! Be aware that parking can be a little challenging, the owner can be hard to find at times, at it’s cash only.

Lots of low hanging fruit for the opportunistic junker. I saw an old taxidermy bobcat or something guarding a victorian bar in front of a mission oak rocker with a box of vinyl records in the seat next to a danish chair in front of a pinball machine under a chrome chandelier next to a camping stove with a 60 lb vice on it and a bag of old legos and a box of chemistry flasks… and a pile of 100 year old clinker bricks which were apparently the foundation of this place last month…

While here, a 40+ year old man wandered in as I squatted in front of a shelf, playing with some old, old phones that were made out of metal and each weighed at least 10lb. they don’t make them like these anymore. if that girl in Scream was on one of these phones at the beginning of the movie, she could have bashed the masked dude across the head. skull would collapse and the movie would have ended after the first five minutes. But anyway, kindred spirits bond quickly and small talk ensued. He told me this is the type of antique shops he used to go with his dad when he was a kid, and I believed it. This is not a place where everything’s neatly displayed with a high price tag. You have to dig for what you find here, and though there’s really nothing you need, there’s plenty that you’d want. I heard the store’s been open for 50+ years. Welcome to Unilocal
