Main Street Antiques

This review is more for the conditions you have to endure when you visit rather than the variety. My wife and I stopped in over the weekend while out for a drive. I admit the amount of stuff piled outside drew me in. But once we got inside I had no idea what we were in store for. There is so much stuff piled up in this large house, it just screams Fire Hazzard! Not to mention no sign of fire exits anywhere. From the moment you walk in its single file, sideways walking through most of the house. And the place is so stuffed you fear touching anything to risk a avalanche. Not mention the condition of the house itself is very poor as well. Soft floorboards that shake a whole room when you step on a loose board, stairs you feel may fall out from under you. So variety in the store YES, Safety and comfort of browsing a BIG NO! So when you pull up and see the bars on the second floor window covering windows you could never get to anyway. Remember you’ve been warned. And if your claustaphobic skip this one for sure.

This place dazzles and amazes! It has pretty much everything an antiques lover could dream of, large items and small. The owner is a knowledgeable, reasonable, charming man. We NEVER miss a chance to stop in when we are in the Boston area. Plan to spend some time — it’s packed to the ceilings with treasures and discoveries.
