It is amazing here!!! Wonderful vintage items at a very good price. The deals are really great and they have soooo many little unique and fun trinkets and accessories. The worker was so friendly and helpful. The owner came in briefly with brand new items for the store and showed me a couple of items that were perfect and exactly what I was looking for. They also let me go through the new items they brought in so I got a first pick and it was SO fun, I literally spent hours here. I also love all of the LGBTQ/trans pride items that were on display and also available for purchase. I felt so safe and warm here and it was such a breath of fresh air for me since the world/politics are so crazy right now. Thank you

My mom went into the store looking for a gift for my daughter. They are frequent flyers there. The necklace that she was looking for had been taken to another location. The employee working that day offered to go get this necklace and bring it back to that location if my mom was interested in coming back the next day. She was very impressed with this level of customer service for a piece of jewelry that didn't even cost that much. He even offered to come in a little bit early before the store opened for my mom's convenience. The house of dow truly puts a special touch on the customer service that they offer, my mom is in love!
Thank you so much!

I love this place more than life itself. As a mid size/plus size person, there's always ample stuff I can try on. They do great about rotating pieces and promoting everything. The owner, Alan, has a secret talent for finding vintage items exactly what you're looking for with the vaguest of descriptions if they don't have it. Cannot recommend it enough!

This magical store is the source of some of my all-time favorite vintage threads! They've got an eclectic and constantly revolving stock of clothing, accessories, gifts and pop culture artifacts, plus local memorabilia to spark the old school nostalgia. Definitely a jewel along the Uptown Adams Street lineup! I love their whimsical window displays and seasonal themes. Their clothing selection is well-curated to offer what's on trend and in demand, whether you're looking for 90s denim, 80s band tees, 70s polyester, or a psychedelic 60s dress. Lots of fun, funky jewelry and accessories for the perfect finishing touches, too! If you're looking to sell some of your vintage goodies, be sure to call or check their social media accounts first to see what they're buying. The owner and staff are some of the most friendly, helpful and knowledgeable folks in the business!

A great place to find vintage clothes and other fun items. I've bought my mom some cool vintage jewelry from here and scarves for myself. It's great for every day cool fashion but also a fun stop around Halloween to find things to make into a costume. It's the type of shop that you need to stop by more than once in a month because the inventory is constantly changing. It's also a good shop to bring a friend because you'll be in there for a while and there's loads to see, talk about, and make yourself look fashionably cooler with if you take your time.

This is the best vintage store in Toledo! Not just because we have a sad lack of them, but because Alan keeps an excellent inventory of beautiful clothing including a surprisingly well stocked Men's section. Definitely check them out to support Small Gay Trans Business!

I've visited here a couple of times while visiting family in Toledo. This shop is so fun, with really unique items and great prices. Got a super cool vintage Hawaiian shirt for my husband and some handmade jewelry for my teenager. The staff were very nice. Love that the shop is LGBTQ+ friendly too!
