About The Antique Wood

Our Service Pledge To You:
I pledge, to you my customer, good service and a quick response to your questions and orders. I want to treat you the way I like to be treated when I am a customer. I will research and photograph each item very carefully to help you ascertain the quality of the item. I may at times describe in writing some more of the details which may not be visible in the photographs.

Items purchased from The Antique Wood will be shipped to you from a smoke and pet free environment. Each item will be cleaned to the best of my ability unless noted that to clean the item thoroughly would damage the item i.e. "cold" painting or fragile fabrics.

My husband and I do travel occasionally so I will be sure to let you know when a trip is coming up and that I will be out of town or out of the country. At this time, there will be a delay in responding to your questions or shipping your orders.

Please, do not be afraid to make me an offer. I, like most of us, enjoy a better deal. The way I think about it..."It never hurts to ask." I will think about my cost in the item and base my decision on that.

Tell me if you are a returning customer and I will happily give you 10% off non-sale merchandise. It will be my way to show you how much I appreciate your continued business.

About Us
The Antique Wood, a unique antique store with unique pieces in a unique place, opened in January 2006 in historic downtown Wichita Falls, Texas. It is owned by Glenda Tate who has now opened her newest shop, The Antique Wood on Ruby Lane, in April 2009.

The Antique Wood, in Wichita Falls, Texas, is located at 507, 509 and 511 7th Street in three commercial buildings built in 1906 and now listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.

At the rear of the 511 unit is located a small structure known as the "World's Littlest Skyscraper." This small building, built in 1920, was to have been Wichita Falls' first real skyscraper and the answer to a shortage of office space caused by the North Texas Oil Boom of 1919.

Investors, from the Philadelphia area, gave the builder $200,000 to come back to Wichita Falls and build a skyscraper. They were scammed by failing to notice the scale of the architectural drawing was based on inches and not feet. The builder built what he showed them, skipped town and pocketed the difference.

The small structure, only 4 stories tall and 10 feet wide, was designated in the 1960's by Ripley's Believe It or Not as the "World's Littlest Skyscraper." Tourists are drawn to Wichita Falls and its Little Skyscraper, which is accessible through the Antique Wood.
