The History behind The Little Red Shed Antiques

We, the owners of the Little Red Shed Antiques Shop are very proud of our long association with Waynesville, Ohio, the Antiques Capital of the Mid-West. The Little Red Shed was started, circa 1967, when Albert and Opal Stubbs established an antiques shop located in a little red shed that they renovated in back of their funeral home on North Main Street. On October 1, 1969, a partnership was formed consisting of Opal and Albert, their daughter and son- in-law Yvonne and Carl Bradstreet and their son and daughter-in-law Bill and Marilyn Stubbs. On this date we relocated the Little Red Shed to 95 South Main Street and then in 1972 we moved to our present location at 85 South Main in the building that had once housed the Fairley Hardware Store.
When we moved the shop to Main Street in 1969 there were just three Antiques shops in Waynesville, The Little Red Shed, Vi's Antiques owned by Vi and Ora Jones and The Village Antiques owned by Frank and Lena Shull. Now many fine antiques shops line the streets of Waynesville and outstanding specialty shops and restaurants have joined them.

Please remember us when you have antiques to sell. We own all the merchandise that you will find in the Little Red Shed. We take no consignments not do we rent out any area of the shop. We will buy from one item to an entire collection. We do not specialize in any one area but handle a variety of antiques including pattern and cut glass, China , silver, pottery, furniture, watches and jewelry, books and postcards, toys, old iron and wooden primitives and many other items that are considered to be antiques.

We invite you to come to Waynesville, spend the day, and enjoy our many shops and restaurants.
