Looking for that perfect piece of antique furniture? With more than 8,000 square feet of space, Second Time Around Antiques is sure to have what you are looking for.

In 1980, owner Mark Porter opened a small second-hand store on Main St. Over the years he developed a love of antiques, and with that passion, the store grew in variety, size and popularity. Soon, the original location became too small, and Porter had to relocate.

For years, Second Time Around Antiques could be found in either Richmond or the North Shore, but is now back to its roots on Main St. Walking into Second Hand Around Antiques is a site to behold. Every square inch houses a beautiful addition to the house or office. Antique chests, desks and stained-glass windows can be found—sourced locally and internationally. Be sure to stop by and see if they have what you are looking for.
