Oley Valley Architectural Antiques

This place has a lot of very large pieces. Huge doors and entire bars. Really interesting things, but most of it was very expensive. Things are packed in and if you did purchase something I'm not sure how they would get it out, but it did make it difficult to see everything. If you are an interior designer or looking to make a mansion unique, this is probably an amazing place to shop.

Fantastic selection of beautiful antiques. Very helpful staff!

I love antiquing and checking out the antique stores in the Ephrata/Adamstown area. I was visiting the area with my mom and decided to stop in to check out what they have. The elderly man at the counter was not very personable when we walked in, which is fine. Walking around the place was impressive. It's packed full with antique stained glass windows and antique furniture that is to die for.

When we were walking out, I said "thank you, and have a happy new year" and it the elderly man looked at me and just said "bye" I'm sure they deal with people coming in and walking around not knowing what they are looking for all the time, but you don't have to be rude. I'm guessing he may have been the owner because I saw him in a few of the pictures they have around.

I'm sure after reading some of the other reviews he will have something to say, in which I don't really care. I just know after my experience I will never go back in there. I would rather spend my money and time at the TONS of other antique stores in the area.

I didn't know what to expect when I visited, it was just on a whim. Part used mantles, bars, doors, windows, etc. Part museum. The woodwork on display spans literal centuries and is stunning.

From 10/31/21: NYer and Well-traveled huge explorer of great antiques - BUT this gem surpassed my expectations. Don't be fooled by the iron work and pieces outside, this place is overstuffed with such amazing pieces - so astounding - I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this extraordinary collection. I chatted with Joel (Manager/Owner?) and he asked if I saw their other 2 warehouses 'which have even larger pieces'! I was shocked to hear this since the main building was packed to the gills! This is a must to see!

Amazingly beautiful historical pieces. It is like walking through a museum and seeing one of kind antiques that can purchased. This is the best antique store I have been to in Adamstown. Staff was kind, knowledgeable, and happy to share their knowledge with you. My only worry was accidently bumping into something and doing damage with my clumsy body.

Opens at 10, walked in at 10:30 and there are no lights on except for one at a desk with a cranky guy. Asked if they were open and he said he just got in and he only caries high end architectural pieces. So? He wanted to know exactly what I am looking for, so I guess unless you know what you want don't go there. I wanted to look but with his unwelcoming attitude, I walked out and left. I may not have been in the market today for anything there today, but I sure won't go back there when I am.

If you're looking for original old wood and old world craftsmanship this is the place to go. He has anything you could possibly dream of for proper 18th and 19th century decor. Some of his pieces have been loaned out for movie sets.

If you are an historical restorationist or a builder working on an older home, this is THE place. I could have spent hours browsing all the beautiful pieces. We were looking for something more cabin style and the owner took the time to look up some places where we would be better suited looking. Fantastic!

Incredible place if not a little overwhelming. But that's a good thing! So many beautiful architectural antiques. You literally could get lost in here but not mind it. Fun experience! Owners were very nice.
