Antiques store is itself an antique
GLASGOW — At Hole in the Wall Antiques, 300 West Main St., even the building is an antique.
“This building, in 1906, was Bailey and Grinstead Groceries and Feed,” said Sharlie Hoehn, part owner of the store. “This building has been several things including the Rock House restaurant. The feed store was the first that I know occupied it. How much longer it’s been here prior to that, we don’t really know.”
Inside the building, Hoehn and her two business partners, Rickey Spillman and Mike Young, display for sale antique items they have collected from various places.
“When we started, we just pooled our antiques together,” Hoehn said. “We bring in new merchandise daily. We attend auctions, yard sales, people that collect call us, private individuals call us. We’ve got a big variety of things.”
Among the variety of things is a statue of a baseball player that sits outside the store.
“Rickey found those,” Hoehn said. “We had a Marilyn Monroe, she didn’t last a day. We also had a football player that went to live in Fox Hollow, so now we have the baseball player out.”
Also displayed are antique thermometers, signs, tables, pottery, crock pots, leather jackets, granite items, tools, toys, lamps, clocks and even pedal cars.
The business is the first for all three.
“I’ve been retired for nine and a half years, Rickey works at South Central Telephone and Mike is retired after working at a cabinet shop for 30 years,” Hoehn said. “We’ve all three wanted to do this for a while and finally got to.”
Hoehn added that young people should hang on to things that seem valuable.
“Somebody will buy it. It will be collectible one day,” she said.
Hole in the Wall Antiques, which opened on Sept. 5, operates Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. or later if needed.
