What People Are Saying About Antiquarian's Delight

In Short – Also known as South Street Antiques Market, this place set up shop in a turn-of-the-century house of worship in 1983. These days, about 25 mostly unmarked, colorful booths sell their collectible old wares on the ground floor and in the basement. At the entrance, a vendor who bills herself as "Mod Girl" boasts a booth that drips with costume adornments: Bakelite bangles, sparkly animal pins, plenty of beads and baubles. Both upstairs and down, the selection is heavy on mid-twentieth century.

The Antiquarian is nostalgia at its best, walking in it is colorful and exciting, take your time browsing because there are hidden treasures everywhere.
It is pricey but some pieces are worth it. Do not be hasty though because most vendors will bargain.
And as far as the vendors go, most are friendly and helpful but I did run into one extremely rude and snobby lady, which was a big turn off.
It is hard to miss if you know what you are looking for, it is a big old church.
It is open every day but on Saturdays and Sundays the basement is open as well for more shopping.
- Pros: Atmosphere & Selection
- Cons: Price

Wilbur is a charming new vintage spot!

I always love coming to the Antiquarium....but I am loving it even more now that WILBUR (a sweet new vintage store) has opened in the basement. The prices are great, and the owner will help you pick just the right thing. The little stall feels cozy ...everywhere you look is a carefully placed treasure. Don't miss this place! Just what the Antiquarium (and my closet) needed.
- Pros: everything so far....
