History

Established in 1975.

After moving from the suburbs to Uptown in 1970 and restoring an old house looking for old moldings, fireplace mantels and light fixtures became a constant quest. The art of the find, Collector gone Wild! turned into a business. It’s happened to many. Found an old building on Lawrence ave and began to add some charm to it– Old Chicago Brick driveway — Cobblestone Parking Lot — Window Boxes and Shutters to complement the front windows and an old Iron Fence from France out front.
