Howard Street Antiques

The 800 block of Howard Street is commonly known as Antique Row and once you arrive you will see why it has earned this nickname. Not only does the district offer a tremendous amount of fun shopping opportunities but if you are a history buff you will certainly enjoy the historical element of the block as well. Antique shops first opened on the street as far back as the 1840s; although at the time most of the shops were really resellers of furniture. As a result, Antique Row is the oldest antique district in the country. Most shops open around 11am and remain open until 5pm. Be aware the street parking is metered.

Amos Judd and Sons, Inc. is a great place to stop by if you are looking for jewelry as well as antique lighting. You can find just about anything you might be looking for at Antique Row Stalls; a large co-op. Connoisseur's Connection also offers a wide variety of wares as well as some pieces that are from movies produced in the local area. For fine 18th and 19th century furniture be sure to visit E.A. Mack Antiques.
