Cannon Hill Place - Antique store in Frederick - 111 S Carroll St, USA

Meh mostly knick knacks and decor. There needs to be a better selection of soda advertising to liven things up.

The old building sets a fitting stage for exploring rooms of interesting furniture, art, clothing, and the miscellany of bygone eras. Sure, one person's junk is another's treasure, and the definition of "antique" has broadened during my lifetime so as to no longer require monetary value. But overall there is a lot of good quality to be found here, and at prices that seem reasonable. A couple rooms set up in themes are great fun to look at, and make you wish you had more empty space in your house to decorate.

Returned after a couple of years and it welcomes like an old friend, even if you find nothing it's a familiar stroll in wide aisles through unpretentious booths. It's ordinary people stuff, nothing very old, and generally priced reasonably. You'll find decorative housewares, kitchen stuff, some framed art and posters, some vintage clothes, advertising, and lots of books spread over two floors.

This is a fairly nice antique store. It's not as much the treasure chest it had been back in the 80s as it's changed several times over the years. I'll not lament the many times I've spent searching this location in the past for those days are long gone. But, I did visit this past weekend and was happy to find a few spots of hidden treasures scattered about. I did find a few treasures to purchase at a more than fair price. This chop is not as polished as others in Frederick City, and, to be honest, I like it that way. I've been to this shop for over 30 years and watching how it's changed reminds me of how antique shopping in Frederick has also changed. The "Bargain" antiques and curiosities that once were available have given way to more modern or posh items. But, this shoppe has kept more close to it's origins than other shops here in Frederick City. The persons running the cash register were very friendly and helpful, even on this busy Sunday afternoon just before Christmas. Things to be found here: There is a very nice vintage clothing section at the front of the shop specializing in Women's clothing. I browsed through there and all the items I viewed appeared to be whole and in good shop. This really was a nice, heavily stocked stop. Well worth the visit if you are in search of vintage clothing. Other stalls in the shoppe contained a lot of the usual items that one would wonder why they have even been put up for sale. And in a few of these shops I did manage to find a few things I purchased. A brass-wire brush with wood handle for scrubbing metal parts. This I think is my favorite find. It had obviously been quite often in the past, the wood was aged, dark brown with a wonderful feeling and look as if I had just pulled it from my grandfather's took chest. I also purchased a small hand tree saw used for branches. This saw was probably from the 50s and its condition was aged enough to make it not immediately usable, but with the help of my new wire brush and a file I'll put the teeth into a sharp biting condition and the rest of the saw in a polished shape. A bargain at only $4. The final item for purchase was a wood plaque with the Cub Scout Motto. My wife was quite happy I found this as it's construction matches that of a wood plaque we purchased years ago with the Boy Scout Motto on it. We've never seen these anywhere before so it was quite the surprise to find one for the Cub Scouts. Now, if we can only find a Girl Scout version we could have a complete set! Results: Nice shop, lots of stuff, lots of stuff no one would buy, most prices are very reasonable. Friendly staff. Recommended.

It's a cool place to browse with a lot of neat vintage goods. I'm a book guy, and there are lots of different book sections throughout both levels. There's a lot to look at spread over two levels, and it has a cozy feel. Lots of small breakable items, so you'd likely have to keep a close eye on small kids. The workers have always been quiet and friendly, which just adds to a nice, casual experience.

My daughter and I went to this place together, and we're surprised at how big it was. There was an awesome display of everything antique. we both made a choice or two and we're very thrilled with our purchases. We are actually able to park right outside which was another bonus. Good way to spend some time, at a leisurely pace. Well worth the trip, two thumbs up

Overall, an enjoyable place to walk around. It was a bit warm inside, which did have us moving quickly through. I would have also been interested to know if their books were donated because many were priced nearly at what you could get them at a bookstore. Staff were relatively friendly and quick to ask if you needed anything too.

Cannon Hill Place is one of our favorite shops! It's a good sized two level building with antique treasures everywhere. You can find some really decorative accents, furniture, art, books, records and some clothing. Prices vary, depending on the vendor. Employees are friendly and welcoming. Parking is typically pretty easy - street parking.
