We had the chance to visit Gary and Mike at Big House Antiques, 2212 Mechanic, yesterday and are pleased to report they have made phenomenal headway on restoring their showroom. Although they are not "officially open", the doors are open when they're there working and they'll surely welcome any walk-in customers.
Our good friends Scott and Holly at Antique Warehouse, 423 Rosenberg (aka 25th Street) have also been back in business since cleaning out the sludge and damage from the roughly 8' of water they had inside. Need any antique long leaf pine flooring? Bead board? Architectural salvage? This is the place, and these guys invented service with a smile. "Best Galveston Antique Store" is right, as they were awarded this year by the Galveston Daily News.
Nautical Antiques is, of course, available by appointment (409) 761-0392, but the gaping hole in the roof keeps us from being able to open up the doors for regular hours just yet. You can find us at the Winnie Trade Days the weekend of November 7-9th with Antique Warehouse if you care to venture out!
FYI - they opened this past weekend!
