Description:

Oley Architectural Antiques is open Monday and Thursday – Sunday from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm, closed Monday & Tuesday.

If you’re looking for large, unique antiques, focal points for a room, fireplace surrounds, amazing doors, pillars, wrought iron, stained glass, hand-carved bars and the like, this is where you’re likely to find it in Lancaster County.  This is NOT the place to go for knick-knacks or anything remotely resembling a flea market find… and the owner is likely to explain this to you when you walk in the door, especially if you’re looking young, scruffy, or both!  He is justifiably proud of the fact that Hollywood stars have shopped here, and they’ve had a number of pieces used in BIG-TIME historical movies.

Walking through this warehouse is a very interesting experience akin to going on a treasure hunt.  Pieces are jammed together and stacked.  Paths wind their way this way and that with unique and special finds at every turn.  Sometimes there are photographs of the pieces taped to the side… so you can see what it looked like before it was dismantled and removed from its original home.
