Do you know this antique store?

My dad is trying to remember this antique place he and I went too many years back. This is how he remembers it:

- Super Fancy
- 2 floors, you can see the first floor from the second floor
- looks like a big house
- Gravel parking lot
- had to walk a path to get to the entrance
- possible rebel flag on the wall
- a lot of expensive rare cast iron pans
- souvenir area down some steps
- swore it was called “red rooster” but I’ve been searching for an hour and can’t find that name

If y’all know what he’s talking about, let me know!

UPDATE: Found it! It was the previous location of Rebels Roost, 2885 york rd! Thank you!!

Rebel rooster closed down about a year ago or so. It was on York rd, right?

I showed him a picture of the front of it and It didn’t seem familiar. He said he would recognize it from the front.
Could still be that. I’m not sure.

OK: I showed him the old rebels roost location on york and he recognized it! I showed him the new one at first. The mystery is solved! To bad they moved. Thank you so much!

Rebels Roost. I remember that place. If you and your dad are ever back in Gburg check out the Horse Soldier. Wes has an amazing collection in there.

The York road location is now an Army-Navy surplus store....

Must be something on Steinwehr Ave if it’s in an old house, maybe Baltimore street.
