Once upon a time in the not-too-distant past, a stretch along Broadway was called Antique Row. Spanning seven long blocks from 1100 to 1800 Broadway, the area boasted more than 100 antique and novelty stores. Antique Row is now something of an artifact itself having been largely displaced by new development and replaced by trendier “vintage” stores.

While antiques are considered items 100+ years old and vintage goods are 20-99 years old, old is old, right? Whether you’re looking for that coveted collectible or a retro relic, the “Gateway to Denver” still has something to offer.

NOTE: Before you head out on your shopping excursion, play it safe and call these businesses to make sure they haven’t become a thing of the past.
