St. John's Antiques on Route 66: A third-generation family business with a 75-year history in flowers and antiques recently upgraded their 123-year-old Pacific building facade.

‍

When Tim and Kevin St. John envisioned a revitalized storefront for their cherished St. John's Antiques, seeking to enhance its visual appeal and further contribute to the town's charm, the opportunity for collaboration presented itself as a natural and enthusiastic undertaking. Recognizing the significance of their establishment to the heart of Pacific, we were eager to lend our support to this exciting endeavor.

‍

The transformation began with the expertise of Ron Sansone, a talented local contractor whose craftsmanship brought the vision to life. The once-broken up sidewalk has been replaced with a stunning flagstone walkway, its textured surface and natural hues creating an inviting path that beckons visitors to explore the treasures within. This new walkway not only enhances the aesthetic of the building but also improves accessibility, ensuring a welcoming entrance for all.

Adding to the architectural charm are carefully selected historic corbels, evoking a sense of the past and lending an air of timeless elegance to the facade. These decorative supports, reminiscent of a bygone era, add intricate detail and visual interest to the porch. Complementing the corbels is delightful gingerbread trim, its delicate patterns and whimsical design contributing a touch of Victorian charm and enhancing the overall character of the building.

‍

The revitalized porch serves as a welcoming embrace, extending an open invitation to all who pass by. This thoughtful combination of new and traditional elements creates a harmonious blend that respects the building's history while injecting a renewed sense of vitality.

‍

The result is more than just a facade renovation; it is a testament to the power of community collaboration and the enduring spirit of local businesses. This revitalized storefront perfectly complements the feeling of instant belonging that washes over you the moment you step inside St. John's Antiques, a place where stories are shared and unique finds await. It is a tangible representation of the close-knit fabric that defines Pacific. Tim and Kevin’s blooming dedication and contributions have enriched the lives of many, fostering a sense of local pride and connection.
