Inside a fieldstone manor house dating to before 1814, Stone House Antiques fills more than 7,000 square feet of showroom space at 3292 Durham Road along Route 413, just outside Doylestown in Bucks County. The building itself, known as the Thomas Walton House, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and its thick stone walls, low doorways, and additions house roughly thirty independent antique dealers under one roof. Shoppers wander from room to room and level to level, moving from a den of mid-century modern chairs and case pieces into a corner devoted to primitive farmhouse cupboards, then past European imports, vintage industrial lighting, bronze sculpture, estate and costume jewelry, oil paintings, vintage clothing, salvaged architectural fragments, and stacks of old books. Because each dealer curates an individual booth, the mix changes often, and regulars say a visit in spring can look nothing like one in fall.
The center opened in 2013 under managers Beth Cahn Kennedy and Jim Castelli, who had previously spent years revitalizing the well known Antiques Center at the Peoples Store across the river in Lambertville, New Jersey. They brought that same multi-dealer model to Bucks County, and Stone House Antiques has since been named Best in Region every year since it opened, a run of recognition the shop attributes to the depth and rotation of its dealer roster rather than any single specialty. The shop also gained a wider audience through three seasons of HGTVs Stone House Revival, which used pieces pulled from its floor to furnish historic home renovations featured on the show, giving visitors a chance to buy items with a bit of television history attached.
Location is part of the draw. The shop sits about fifteen minutes from downtown New Hope and close to Peddlers Village, making it an easy add-on stop for anyone spending a day exploring central Bucks Countys cluster of historic towns, covered bridges, and antique shops. Doylestown itself, with its own museums and restored courthouse square, is a short drive away, so a Route 413 antiquing loop can easily fill an afternoon. Parking is on site, and the layout across the original manor plus a newer showroom addition means visitors can browse at their own pace without feeling rushed through narrow aisles.
Stone House Antiques is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, closed Mondays, and can be reached at 267-544-0574 for questions about specific dealers, upcoming estate consignments, or large furniture pickup. Because inventory turns over dealer by dealer rather than on a fixed schedule, calling ahead is useful for anyone chasing a particular style or period. For collectors and casual browsers alike, the combination of a genuinely historic pre-1814 stone building, thirty curated dealer booths, and a location minutes from New Hope and Peddlers Village makes this shop one of Bucks Countys most distinctive multi-dealer antique destinations, a rewarding stop for anyone touring the regions antique trail.
