Davies' studio guests:
In
1998, Jeff Nelson & Danny Alias created what they claim is Chicago's
largest indoor antique center. After months of searching, they located
a little known architectural gem, a former furniture store in the
Edgewater neighborhood built in 1939.

and accessories, BROADWAY ANTIQUE MARKET
