to "the antique shop", as we affectionately call our store. The shop actually opened five years ago and was designated "On The Square Antiques" because we are, literally, located on the town square in Troy, Alabama, home of Troy University. Housed originally in the "Gellerstedt" building, a wonderful 3 story building that had the steepest stairs imaginable, we operated there for 3 years.
Moving in January 2007 to the "Brantley Brothers building", we found a permanent home. Our current building was constructed around the turn of the century (yes, 1900) and today has the original stain glass panel in the building front facade that proclaims, "Brantley Bros Mercantile Co.". 
The interior of our shop has wonderful character--a steel reinforced walk-in vault (possibly used to store firearms and ammunition), 2 floors, the original mahogany panels in the ceiling, and a wonderful mezzanine! And for those of you who aren't familiar with a mezzanine, it is considered a "half-floor" or balcony above the first floor.
The shop features almost everything imaginable--fine glassware, pottery, Victorian furniture, primitives, re-designed/re purposed furniture, hand-made farm house tables, Bryer model horses,vintage books, retro and mid century modern collectibles, and many other items.
Please visit us soon. We are located an hour south of Montgomery, AL and an hour north of Dothan, AL and only 3 hours from Atlanta, GA.If you are searching for something special, please call us at 334-566-2601.
