History of the Mall...

The antique mall was built in 1908 and was the original site of the Elgin Windmill Company which made windmills for the local farms. In the 1920's it changed hands and was a manufacturing business until Mr. Heider bought the business and made it into the Heider electric business. Mr. Heider sold his business, but kept the building. There is still a sign on the 5 story, yellow brick building that says Heider Electric Company.

We also share the building with Able Furniture which has antique furniture, vintage furniture, used furniture, and other things of interest....

In addition to the vast antiques available here, the mall also has a salvage area to provide vintage doors, windows, trim, and other woodwork.
