Prices are absolutely insane BUT it is a great opportunity for those trying to preserve Louisville in the best and accurate way, historically, to choose this shop. You name it they have it. They care about integrity of the history of the culture here. It is way bigger than it seems. I got lost on a couple of occasions! If you can't afford to buy things there, like myself, I would suggest just going to see beautiful items and getting a little lost for a mental health break. They even have a hidden koi garden. Who knows, maybe you will find a gem there that you just can't pass up.

We were pleased to see an island that was 8 feet long and skinny - exactly what we were wanting for our kitchen-mansion looking Iron doors - gorgeous. Thanks

I love this place. They are so helpful. I went in to find 4 sets of matching brass doorknobs and two employees spent 2 hours helping me find them. They have a great selection of doors too at decent prices with a good amount in stock.
