Once a department store. Coming later this fall another. A Rose's Department Store will take over the large exhibition hall.

Before it was 'The Showplace' it was a Zayre Department Store. Did you shop here way back then?

There are several other events still scheduled in 'The Showplace' Annex, as well as in the parking lot over the next couple of months. Later this year the large exhibition center will become a Rose's Department Store. Construction and improvements will start in March.

I personally set-up at the first event held at 'The Showplace', an antique show back in 1985, and was set-up there for the final large show, "The Richmond Antiques Spectacular" this past weekend. I have a lot of great memories, met a lot of interesting people, made some friends, and sold a lot of books over these last 28 years there.

Thanks again,
