HISTORY OF THE BUILDING

The building was built in 1873. It was originally The Dorsey Livery Stable (i.e., a stable where horses and vehicles are cared for or rented out for pay) that also delivered ice and coal for 51 years. The livery stable was run by Joshua Dorsey. Edward T. Clark purchased the building and turned it into The Clark Hardware Store in 1924 where it remaied for 65 years until the business moved to Baltimore National Pike. Image below of Clarks Hardware Store is care of 1950's DC Photographer. The building became The Antique Depot in 1989.

"I love this place! It's huge and has great selection with several different vendors spread throughout three floors. Prices aren't too bad compared to a lot of other antique stores. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys antiques or vintage clothes; definitely check it out if you're in Ellicott City."

B. B.
"This place is fantastic. I spent about 2 hours on all three floors going through everything. Prices are vendor dependent, but overall better than what you'll find closer to the beltway. Be sure to check out the basement--slightly creepy--but that's where I found a few gems that went home with me. Great collections of glassware & collectibles. A decent amount of Midcentury modern. Proprietors are friendly and helpful."

"Wow!! If your looking for that special something for a loved one who appreciates the quality of real American creativity, look no further than Antique Depot. They have it all. I even found a miniature living room chair for my daughter's collection. The manager, Lisa was extremely knowledgable and led me right to the item I was looking for. Thank you Antique Depot!"
