Baltimore's Antique Row

Antique Row is the oldest antique district in the United States, dating from the 1840s and continues as the premiere antique shopping district in Baltimore. Featuring a wide variety of shops, it attracts both the connoisseur and the casual collector from far and wide. Antique Row is located in the Mount Vernon area, covering the 800 block of North Howard Street and the 200 block of West Read Street. The shops are individually owned, so it is advised to call the ones you're interested in to make sure they're open.

Shopping

Whether you prefer high-end boutiques, large modern malls, flea markets or just browsing, you will find lots of shopping opportunities in Baltimore. The Inner Harbor houses many familiar national retailers, while some of the older neighborhoods like Mount Vernon and Fell's Point are home to some fine boutiques and specialty stores. There are several great choices for antique-lovers at Antique Row, an entire block of historic antique stores. Perhaps the most distinctive shopping options are the public markets. Lexington Market, founded in 1782, is the city's oldest, but the Broadway Market in Fell's Point and the Cross Street Market in Federal Hill also offer many unique offerings and handmade gifts.
