This is the antique store that has the ‘buy anything old sign’ on their door. So go to 180 Tuam street directly for old stuff. I’ve never been in there, I dare not, I might come out with something I don’t need… yes, antique stores, and any jumble sale have a strangely compelling appeal for me, so I avoid them! Instead I photograph them!

What a wonderful old building! They are one of my favorites to photograph, too!

It’s wonderful how you captured the character of the building in your photograph. Very nice!
I have to agree with you about antique stores, yard and jumble sales and the like being compelling. All too often I depart with my arms filled with “new” treasures.

Hi, I’ve lived overseas now for many years,and although I was never in your shop I knew it well as a child as my father and his friend had a printing business there, Fuller Bros, and I was in and out many times many times as a child and young person.. I was extremely sorry to see the damage done in the earthquake. Such a dear little building and now gone. So sad.
