Food, Antiques, and Architecture In Cambridge City

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.

The Railroad Store: Newest Addition to the Historic Depot District

May 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
historic depot district richmond indiana

historic depot district richmond indianaImagine a train full of weary travelers pulling into the Richmond Depot.  Dusty, tired, hungry families with children in bonnets and traveling coats alighting from the train in search of provisions.

The Railroad Store might have caught the eye of a young mother, toddler in her arms, looking towards the corner where the new store now sits.

Once a stop for food and comfort items on a long train route, the Railroad Store today is now home to the work of Artisans and antique booths.  A rustic building owned for the past 20 years by the Parker family, it is the perfect home for showcasing the unique designs and antiques you will find there.

Rick Parker is the man behind the vision which showcases the work of multi-talented people here in Wayne County and surrounding areas.  Handmade items include textiles such as woven rugs, crocheted items and hand sewn crafts, pottery, candles, handmade soaps and much more.  The antique booths place the Railroad Store on the map of the well known Antique Alley and offer a wide range of antiques, collectable and vintage items.

Amid the artists gallery of paintings and original art, there is also a little art center for children to make their own creations while parents shop.  And there are plans to open the second floor for more booths as well as non-profit ventures which fit with the theme of handmade items and antiques.

Booth space is still available and at very reasonable prices.  Prices range  from 450.00/year for a full booth down to 85.00/ year for one shelf.  Each booth is assigned a number so that items sold are tracked and calculated daily, each month checks are sent out.  Well trained volunteers staff the store so that you don’t have to be available for sales.

If you are an artist, craftsperson or antique dealer and want an easy and inexpensive option for displaying your wares–this is your place.  After considering opening my own little shop and all the headaches and overhead–this option was much more appealing to me.  So I will be opening my booth space soon which is called “Vintage By Design.”

Come soon to visit the newest addition to the Depot District and a new member of the well known Antique Alley.  Now open on Sunday from Noon- 4 p.m.  Also open Tues – Friday 10:00 am. – 6 p.m.  Closed Mondays.

For more information about shelf or booth rental you can call Rick at 765-977-1906.
