Nine more reasons to make Uniontown your antique destination
Uniontown Community Development Association (509 229-3655) reports the Community Marketplace is a new antique mall housed in an antique building in Uniontown. The primary tenant is Patty Iulo, whose business is titled Miss Maggie’s, plus eight other dealers. Located on highway 195 at 118 S. Montgomery, the mall is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., and Sunday on occasion. Phone (509) 229-3233.
Iulo started her official antique career in March by setting up her specialty -- antique jewelry -- in a corner at Green Cottage Antiques Uniontown. There, proprietress Barbara Reed mentored her. Born and raised in Pullman with many family ties to Uniontown, Iulo has loved antiques her entire life. After working 22 years at WSU, she decided it was time to downsize the stress in her life and begin following her dream. She heard about the building being available for rent and in August Iulo relocated her operation.
Miss Maggie’s takes the front portion of the building where Iulo displays an eclectic collection of antiques. In addition to jewelry, she has furniture, glass, collectibles and primitive items. Her inventory also includes things for men. She buys at auctions and estate sales, but also handles items on commission.
The remainder of the building is made up of nine stalls, rented to individual dealers. Eight are leased, leaving one available ($50 per month.) Staffing of the Community Marketplace is shared among the vendors with Iulo being on site Friday and Saturday.
The Community Marketplace joins three other well-established Uniontown antique stores: Green Cottage Antiques, Splendid Old Stuff and Littlefield Antiques. Check out their listings at www.uniontown.us in the business section.
