VINTAGE TO VICTORIAN FINDS | MARVELOUS MONROE STREET | ANTIQUE MALLS
Wonderful waterfalls, downtown delights and a few different antique and vintage districts make Spokane, Washington a fantastic destination for collectors and resellers alike! The North Monroe Street section of town has a cluster of antique malls and shops, architectural salvage and interiors shops that create a magnet for vintage lovers of all kinds.
We pause for a moment to take in Spokane’s Expo ’74 World’s Fair sights (and sites), including a work by native son and renowned sculptor Harold Balazs (a personal favorite of mine!). The fair’s legacy includes a beautiful island park, sophisticated performance halls and a clean, new environment that revived this Victorian city…and left us a lot of fun mid-century vintage to find today!
Up the road from the Fair site is the Monroe Street Antique District! Just beyond Tossed and Found (subject of our last video) is Marilyn’s on Monroe is a long-established shop with a fun name and a lot of vintage housewares and decor in a thoroughly packed presentation. We pick up a great buy before we even get in the door!
After studying their shelves, we find a new (to us) shop down the way called Rejuvenate. Their booths are a well displayed blend of vintage wares, repurposed and home goods. In one we find a signed Curtis Jere copper wall plaque at a price so low, the profit will pay for our whole trip!
Paint in My Hair? That’s the district’s nicely displayed interiors store called that mixes vintage, farmhouse and contemporary furnishings. This friendly and well displayed store is the type of place some vintage resellers avoid due to their decorator focus, but you can find some reseller gold in such places sometimes…and indeed, we do!
A few steps down the street is 1889 Salvage Co., which is more specifically focused on antiques and vintage. Right inside the door is an eye-popping modernist wall unit that makes me regret driving the little car instead of the van! A fabulous driftwood shade lamp and a lot more fun stuff makes this a great shopping stop, and we end up closing the place. Sadly, I discover too late a neat looking vintage farm and architectural store…we’ll just have to shop Spokane some more this Fall when the town’s Custer’s Antique Show resumes!
Here are some more things we discover during this trek to a new vintage shopping area:
Silver fade, bar glass sets, Harold Balazs sculpture, Underwood typewriter, paper ephemera, bar signs, DeForest cookie jar, Expo ’74 World’s Fair tray, Vito Sari pitcher, yield signs, tiki bar, wrought iron book stand, Grundig radio, field phone, Italian decanter set, s&p’s, Hudson’s Bay plate, Jarts, Viking Epic bird, Hull Puss-in-Boots planter, Jeanette Constellation bowl, SylvaC dog, McCoy Harmony console bowl, Roseville Zephyr Lily jardiniere, Haeger stork vase, ice cream parlor set, Snoopy figure, fab 50’s pink lamp, Israel brass cross, McCoy space capsule decanter, amusement park signs, copper fire extinguisher, chrome end table, Crosley hubcap, etc.
