After 18 years in Point Pleasant Beach, Shore Antique Center has moved to historic Allenhurst, New Jersey, in a new 14,000-square-foot renovated warehouse located at 413 Allen Avenue. Chris Myer, founder and proprietor of Shore Antique Center, and his wife, Rose O'Connor-Myer, purchased the building in November 2007 and have done extensive renovations to the former plumbing supply warehouse.

Shore Antique Center features more than 40 merchants with a wide variety of antiques, art, collectibles, and other items of interest. Some of the exhibitors and vendors come from the former Point Pleasant Beach location. Others are new, including Copper Kettle Antiques, celebrating its 50th year in business.

The Myers will direct the center in addition to operating their own gallery within it featuring 18th, 19th, and 20th century fine art and a wide array of collectibles. Rose O'Connor-Myer is president of Art Research Associates, a fine art appraisal service for paintings, sculpture, and prints of all periods.

The building features open space, natural light from the original skylights, and hardwood floors. There are three overhead doors and loading docks located on various sides of the building for easy access to move larger pieces in and out. Home delivery is also available.

Shore Antique Center has plenty of parking and is located three blocks from the beach. The borough of Allenhurst is known for its charming Victorian homes, seven restaurants, and various shops.Hours are currently 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and some evenings "by chance."
