art & old things is housed in the former Masonic Lodge on Taunton Drive in Sullivan — the "Gateway to the Downeast Region" of Maine. Built in 1880 for the Masons' meetings and community functions, this three-storied local landmark, complete with vintage tin ceilings and massive block-granite foundation, provides a natural setting for our antiques and vintage collectibles shop, art gallery and sculpture garden.

On the upstairs level, Joe Martell presents new works by area and regional artists in three separate Gallery shows throughout the summer season. On the main floor, the Antique Shop offers a wide variety of antiques and collectible items. Vicki Silver and her 'stall' of dealers display everything from classic and primitive Americana to European antiques ... all at very reasonable prices.
