Lakewood Historical Society's 37th Annual Sale On The Grounds, May 15th Through 18th
Is it an antiques and collectibles shop? A vintage clothing and jewelry store? An estate sale? An art gallery? A place for architectural salvage? The Lakewood Historical Society’s 37th annual Sale on the Grounds is all of these!
Where else can you find kitchen & barware, everyday dishes, utensils and cookware, and probably the largest accumulation of Pyrex and Corningware in Lakewood alongside vintage toys, games, decorative items, fine linens, crystal, silver, China, depression glass, collectibles, Hummels & Royal Doulton figures, lawn & garden, plus small furniture and architectural items fitting historic homes all at bargain prices? And even a huge selection of unique artisan-crafted jewelry by Marion McMuldren? Only at the historic Nicholson House, 13335 Detroit Avenue, May 15-18!
The sale is 9 a.m. – 3p.m. on Thursday, May 15 through Saturday, May 17th. Sunday May 18 is noon to 3 p.m., when everything except the Top Shelf Room is half-price. Even gamblers don’t wait till Sunday, though—they know the full price is such a deal they're not willing to risk losing their treasures. Set aside plenty of time to shop, as not only is the Nicholson House filled, so are the grounds via a 20’ x 60’ tent, several smaller tents, and the Haber Center at 13314 Detroit Avenue for architectural salvage. This is the perfect place to outfit a new house or apartment or to find a special vintage piece to add to your collection--whatever that might be.
Make sure you visit the Haber Center at 13314 Detroit to peruse antique light fixtures, chandeliers, doorknobs, hardware, ceramic tiles, and all sorts of items that might be reused in older homes at the Preservation Committee’s Architectural Salvage Sale.
If you’ve shopped this sale before, no doubt it’s already on your calendar. If you’ve never been, make it a point to come. This is one event you don’t want to miss!
