White River Architectural Salvage and Antiques: Centerville, Indiana
If there were ever a shop that was so completely unexpected, it would be White River Architectural Salvage and Antiques!
When we walked inside, the owner was so nice–and handed the boys a choice of two small toys: they choose the whistles.
Now that is a piece of brilliant business ownership (whether she realized it or not). At no point could our boys wander away from us without us knowing about it! We constantly heard where they were and so could instantly tell them to get back by our side. That means no potential damage to gorgeous antiques. See? Brilliant!
You see, at White River Architectural Salvage and Antiques, it’s very, very easy to get sucked into browsing that you forget you even have kids with you. This Wayne County antique shop holds so many reclaimed items…it will make your head spin!

We saw gorgeous fireplace mantles, a huge variety of lighting fixtures hanging overhead, and more tables, cabinets, and cupboards than you can shake a stick at.
I think I added more than a few “must-haves” to my list–as did my husband!
We felt like kids in a candy store as we tromped around the large shop. Room opened up into room and each one was better than the last.
As owners of an old Victorian home (112 this year), it seems like there’s always something we could use–and at White River Architectural Salvage and Antiques, we actually found it!

I’d say this a “must-stop” on the little Indiana antique trail! I think you’ll be impressed. Scratch that–I KNOW you’ll be impressed!

what a great store along with friendly people. I sat out side with the owner on the sidewalk and talked salvage for a good while. Would not miss this store if you are on an antique browse.
