Food, Antiques, and Architecture In Cambridge City

by Linda Humphrey

Took another wonderful little trip to Cambridge City the other day. Hit our favorite shops. The Pour House for lunch, of course.

All the old buildings on National Road are so interesting, and this one is especially so. It’s actually called the Pour House Antiques and Cafe.

Location: 109 W. Main St. (U.S. 40).

Hours: Tues.-Sat. 9-5; Sun. 11-4.

The lunch fare is outstanding and this time I got the chicken salad wrap, which includes potato salad, chips and a pickle. YUM! Just had a coke to go with it, because we start our shopping with lunch, and then end the trip with a delicious coffee drink at the same place.

(For more down home cooking you might try Lumpy’s restaurant…also delicious.)

Then we meander down to Building 125…

Location: 125 W Main St. (U.S. 40).

Hours: Tue.-Thurs. 10-5;  Fri. 10-4; Sat. 10-5

Here you can enjoy 3 floors of antiques in a beautifully restored old bldg.

A newly opened store is the Log House Antiques across 40 and there are 3 floors of goodies there also. Beautiful jewelry, antiques and great decorating ideas.

The Hole in the Wall Antiques is absolutely packed w/ things that bring back memories of another time. We do so miss Cows in the Creek. Vicky has the most wonderful ideas for decorating, and we hope she returns soon.

All of these great places are included in Antique Alley on U.S. 40.

Centerville and Webb’s Antique Mall, The Olde Brass Hog, etc.  And I must say the owners and helpers are so kind and knowlegeable.

Back at the Pour House we had delicious, special hot coffee drinks on that chilly day, and were offered biscotti or muffins, pie or homemade fudge. GO! … and enjoy.
