On June 26, 2004, after spending its early life as the Bachman-Forry tobacco warehouse, the four-story brick and stone building at 125 Bank Ave. in historic Columbia, Pa., began a new life as the Rivertowne Antique Center. Opening its doors to the public, owners Ron Madar and Georgia Townsend set out to fulfill their goal of providing antique hunters with quality antiques and collectibles showcased in a restored historic building. The couple knew they had found the perfect spot when they bought the majestic warehouse located on the banks of the Susquehanna River. Throughout our two decades in business, Rivertowne has become known as the place to find the good stuff, said Madar. Establishing Rivertowne in Columbia was one more business the town needed to spur additional interest and subsequent retail investment and economic growth. Today, Columbia has become the new destination for antiques, collectibles and vintage items. Were proud to have been pioneers back then in helping to develop what has become a revitalized, vibrant downtown shopping environment, continued Madar. In celebration of 20 years in business, co-owner Georgia Townsend stated, We want to thank our great group of quality dealers and their commitment to offer genuine antiques fairly priced, and also thank our loyal customers who keep coming back down by the river for the good stuff. Rivertowne will be conducting its 20th anniversary sale event on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 28, 29 and 30. During our three-day sale, well be giving our customers great discounts of up to 40 percent off items throughout our store, said Madar. In fact, theres even a 50 percent off section on selected items. This multi-dealer shop features 90 quality dealers and consigners offering a huge selection of authentic 18th, 19th and 20th century items. Shoppers will find painted country furniture, folk art, Americana, primitives, stoneware, glassware, trade signs, general store items, vintage clothing, mid-century and industrial pieces and decorative smalls. This is Columbias longest operating antique center and is conveniently located off Route 30. Shop goers can take the Columbia/Marietta exit and the new Front Street/River Road downtown bypass or follow Third Street into town, turn right on Locust, go a block and a half and turn left onto Bank Avenue. There is plenty of free parking at the shop. Layaway and shipping are available. Dealers, decorators and designers are always welcome.
