Little Antique Mall is anything but little. It's the coast's largest antique mall, encompassing 15,000 square feet in two buildings of eclectic antique paradise. Owner Daniel Beck rents spaces to antique dealers from Lincoln City to Dallas, Texas, ensuring a broad mix of merchandise for serious collectors and anyone just looking for plain old fun finds. Some of the mall's specialties include art by Oregon artists, native American baskets and artifacts, rare books and prints, vintage military and hotel china, and the list goes on.
