Bill, the owner and operator of Custom Time was a lifesaver. I received a grandfather clock from my…read moreDad who was downsizing. Bill came out packed the clock so it could be safely moved. He reached out and scheduled a day to set the clock up and clean and oil the mechanical works. He is friendly and professional. Bill took time to explain to me the way the clock works. He did not rush through and really did a good job. I would recommend Custom Time for any service pertaining to fine grandfather clocks without reservation.

There was someone there already getting a watch battery replaced. So, while waiting, I walked around admiring their clocks and watches. They have quite a selection - great if you need a nice clock for yourself or as a gift. I took some pictures and a short video and posted them for you to see. When it was my turn, he took the watch and went in the back. It didn't take much more than five minutes for him to return with the watch working again! And the price was very reasonable, under $20. Fun store with good service.

I had given up on my German clock. I thought I had purchased a lemon, that had outlived its time span. Wrong. It is hanging on my wall and running like new. If you are in need of someone who can repair your clock at a very fair price, look no further. Thank you for your excellent service.

It is worth a trip to Battleground to check out Shoup House. It is located in an old, two-story…read morehouse. The outside is kind of cluttered and could use some attention, but don't let that keep you away. The inside is great. Lots of rooms, as typical for an old home, and every room is full! They carry antiques as well as some reproductions and decorating, but if you are looking strictly for antiques, no worries. There are plenty! Nice ladies run the place, and they are always good to work with and fun to talk to. I always come away with several items, often unusual and cool stuff. There are a couple of diners/restaurants in town, so it is a nice destination for lunch and a bit of antiquing. So, all in all, Battleground isn't really an antique town, but for us, Shoup House is a destination, in itself. Go, but save some good stuff for me!

While visiting Battle Ground, IN to see the historical, Tippecanoe battlefield where General…read moreHarrison and the Shawnee chief, Tenskwatwa (or The Prophet), fought and started one of the sparks which would become the War of 1812, we stumbled across another historical site - The Shoup House. There's nothing I love more than museums and antique shops so I was in 7th heaven this particular day. Shoup House Antiques is everything I want in an antique shop. It was like someone read my mind and fabricated this special place just for me. My vacation cottage is only 1500 sq. ft. with average to low ceilings, small bedrooms and an open floor plan where the common rooms are. I don't have a lot of free wall space and even less floor space so I can't really fit antique furniture (the kind that obviously belong in homes like The Shoup House or grand Victorians) in here. What I can do is buy little accent pieces to create wonderful vignettes on my night stand, shallow shelf nook, library wall, etc. The Shoup House carries antiques and European inspired reproductions. I am a huge lover of all things from Ballard Designs and Restoration Hardware, and I found similar, if not identical, items here and for even less. I bought a beautiful table top Santos figure for $9.00 which sells for $39.00 in Ballard Deigns catalog. The oval wall clock which sold out for $82.00 was $49.00 at The Shoup House. My favorite purchase though is an architectural piece where someone talented had taken gorgeous, old tin ceiling tiles and molded them against a wood frame to create a 5' long x 18" high wall shelf for only $45.00. I feel like I stole this piece. It was so hard to keep myself from buying all the things I have coveted for so long in those catalogs and in the stores, like wire cloche bells, shabby chic balusters and columns, large b&w canvas map of downtown Chicago, antique bird cages, leather armchairs with nail head trim, etc. If I could buy the house with all the antiques in it, I could happily live here not moving a thing and consider myself at home. It's also fun to peruse all the different, 11 rooms of the house where everything is organized neatly and artistically in primitive or shabby chic cupboards, armoires and shelves, on the walls, from the ceilings, in the closets, on the porch and along the staircases. Almost every inch is packed full of antiques and decorative items, but it doesn't feel cramped or overwhelming. I haven't been this in love with a store in a few years so yes, my review is long and exuberant because I'm still giddy from my visit and discovery of this fabulous antique shop.

Housed in the old theater, there are many, small rooms to wander in and out of. There are themes…read moreand well displayed vignettes. They even make use of the short, narrow hallways, staircase and upper floor vestibule. There are many lovely pieces of furniture in great condition, old toys from as far back as the 20's/30's, collectibles and books. It's like visiting your old, rich aunts house, but you can sit on the furniture and touch the valuables. The prices are also in accordance with the age and condition of the items so there aren't any deals or steals here. This is a great antique shop and unlike most antique malls, it's clean, dust free and uncluttered by kitsch. Having a sporty, mid-size sedan saves me a great deal of money here because I always find something I can't live without here but won't fit into my car.
