If you enjoy antiquing as much as I do, you’ll love the antique shops in Steuben County, Indiana. I’ll be visiting and sharing some of the finest antique treasures in our area. I’m starting with Then and Now Antiques Inc. located in downtown Angola. It features three floors of antiques, collectibles and accessories. The Then and Now Antiques store has more than 40 dealers located in a 30,000-square-foot building. There is something for everyone including furniture, clothing, glassware, porcelain pieces, lamps, fishing tackle, quilts and art. Each booth sports a unique style of antiques and collectibles from a variety of time periods.
I was greeted by manager Penny Landis Tadsen who filled me in on the history of this grand building. The building was originally built in the early 1900s and was occupied by Stiefels Department Store, which sold ladies and gentlemen’s clothing as well as a few home goods. Through the years it changed hands several times including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and JC Penney. Former owners of the antique store include Leroy and Irene Wisel and Scott Miller. In 2005 the late Melody Willibey bought Then and Now and brought with her a good deal of antique knowledge. Her husband Kevin remains the owner.
In short, if you are looking for antique or vintage items to accessorize your rooms with, Then and Now Antiques is the place to shop. The wide selection and reasonable prices make it a must stop while visiting Steuben County.
