Such a fun and eclectic store! So many treasures can be found on each floor and the staff... The staff is just phenomenal! We are so happy we stopped in on our trip from Washington State. We will be back on our next visit!

Whoa!!! This place is AMAZING!!! We were walking past this place and almost missed it. This was not a planned stop, but as we were walking past, I noticed some stained glass displayed in the windows that caught my attention. I'm so glad we stopped in. I chatted with a few friendly guys who were enjoying their coffee in the café area, but as we were chatting, my attention was drawn to all the antique and vintage items all around us. Four floors (plus the basement) packed with Americana treasures from times long forgotten. If you have any love for history, this is a must stop. You won't be disappointed.

I bumped my head placing something in my trunk and it hurt like hell. When I came into the store, a very kind man met me with a latex glove, filled with ice for my head now that Service and kindness.

I had a few hours before my flight so I checked this place out and was very impressed with their inventory. The building is also great to explore.

Ordered a cappuccino and a chai latte to go.Didn’t realize this place is a treasure cove! There are multiple floors of vintage baubles. It was so dreamy I got lost in time in awe of their collection. Doesn’t hurt the coffee hit the spot! A must try.

This was a really fun visit and I am glad we stopped in during our weekend trip to Des Moines. There are multiple floors or every vintage, antique, weird, fun, and everything in between here. There is even a coffee shop (we did not get anything though). We really loved walking through here and seeing some old things that we've never came across at any vintage/antique store. You can tell that the person collecting all of this has put a ton of time and effort into bringing all of it into this building. My only complaint was the pricing on everything. In my opinion, and based on numerous other similar stores we've been to, everything was very marked up. Now, I understand most of it is valid and really is worth that, but some items were kind of outrageous. Overall, West End is a super cool store to visit and worth it even if you just window shop. I am sure we will come back and see what new stuff is here when we visit Des Moines again.

Very much enjoyed exploring at this place. Wish I would have had more time. Lots of really fun things to see. Grab a coffee on the main floor then peruse the more than four floors of a variety of things. You might find yourself a new treasure to take home.

We found West End Architectural Salvage on Atlas Obscura, and are so glad we went inside! 4 stories of amazing furniture, metalwork, stained glass, and much more kept us browsing for over an hour. Many salvaged items were creatively repurposed into unique decor and jewelry. The building itself added flavor with its high windows and natural lighting--great for photos! The coffee bar was reasonably priced and carried a variety of drink options. Finally, the staff were friendly and happy to talk about items on offer. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit!
